It is a network of machines, for crying out loud; they are a stupid as sand
[1].[1]{Sand is composed of silica, related to the silicon in computer
chips; though computer chip silicon is not directly derived from sand
silica.}

Your browser lost a cookie, and you failed to write down the password when
you created the account? Bummer.

Hmmm. Maybe you have a keylogger aboard, and your account was stolen. Maybe
that is the least of your worries. What else is on that computer that you
wouldn't want compromised?

What does the "World Trade Federation" have to do with anything?[2]

I don't know of such a number. Tried the site? Tried Google? Consider what
you pay for an MSN Hotmail account. Consider that you usually get what you
pay for; demand a refund!
And take a deeeeeeep breath....hold it! Count to ten, slowly....exhale as
you do. Get a grip; foul language is no longer impressive. Especially not to
those as might be in a position to help. Venting here doesn't hurt, I guess
[3], but venting on whomever you contact at that phone number will get zero
results; except, maybe, a timely "click" when the other party breaks the
connection.

your rant. And they might have been the ones with the knowledge you seek.}
