Hi Wayne,
You should have received four emails in the past about usernames & passwords,
access and facilities for our Lug site hosting on lug.org.uk and the lugmaster
mail list, all off-list, all sent to Dave Smith as well. (Sorry not to have
responded earlier; I'm just catching up with the last few days non-work mail).
I'm sure you got the first two as you wrote :-

The last email was 2 days before you changed any of your email address usage.

The four mails were :-

To: lm at lodestar.icom43.net, wayne at lancastercomputers.co.uk, dave at td-online.co.uk
Subject: New account on lug.org.uk

(the second conveyed the server password for your username, hence the edits):-

I'm not including the text of the 1st two mails here for reasons of security
(they include usernames, hostnames, protocols and of course passwords, and *all
mails on this list are archived and these archives are public*), but here are
the 2nd two (with Hugo's forwarded reply edited for the same reasons) :-
