    Was it 3 months ago that you signed up? If not...

    sleep(86400) while (($signedupdate - $todaysdate)

    See if that helps ;)

    The government has managed in a surprisingly small amount of time to compile a database linking phone numbers and email addresses with 41M entries.

    this is why I made a point to not register via the webform (that requires a valid email address), choosing to register via the supplied phone number instead. No mapping between valid phone and valid email.

    ...and people said I was paranoid... ;-)
