I had an email account with Yahoo! ages ago. I opened it up in the mid-90's and had it until a year or so ago. I got worried that my very simple password was not sufficient and so I, foolishly, changed it - to something that I promptly forgot. I tried to contact Yahoo! then, but kept running up against walls. I kept trying for months, but nothing. Then, a couple weeks ago, I remembered that I had copies of a bunch of poetry that I'd written - long ago - in that account. And I wanted it. Bad. So I tried again. And found more walls.
But I wrote out a long inquiry and explanation to Yahoo! and after a week or so got a response. Today I sent in all of my identifying information and, finally - FINALLY - regained access to said account. But it is all gone. Every single one of my old messages. Every single one of my poems. Every single memory that I was hoping to revisit - and some that I'd just assume have left behind. Well, now they are all left behind.
And apparently my ultra-simple password, was far more fool-proof than the forgotten one that I changed it to because my account was most certainly hacked since my last entry. By someone in China. While I have no messages to take me down memory lane, my name on the account was changed to nonsense and I had apparently moved to China. Yeah. Not so much.
*sigh*
