I'm sorry, but this may be stupid, but I couldn't find your e-mail anywhere, so, I'm leaving you a message in hopes that you will e-mail me back. I need help with your site, answerbag....You see, this isn't the first time I've had this happen to me... I made an account, and everything would be fine, and then one day I would try to login, and it said, "ERROR - Incorrect Username or Password". Now, I had logged in several times before, with no problem. So, I decided to try a different aproach.."Tip: If you can't remember your nickname, try using your email address!". So I tried that, and then I realised that I had put the wrong e-mail. I hadn't noticed until I tried to e-mail it. So, I just decided to get a new account, and I used the right e-mail adress this time. So, I was really getting into it. I was using it for quite a while. And I know my password. I didn't forget it. Anyways, about a month later, I went to go login, and sure enough, there was that error message again. And it wouldn't let me login. So, I tried entering my e-mail, and that too failed. I don't know why this keeps happening to me. And I don't want to make a new account, because I liked my "Castrate" account. Please e-mail me back, so we can work this thing out. I really would like to login to my good old castrate account again. Any info you need, I will give to you by e-mail. By the way, the e-mail I used with this comment was also the e-mail I used with my Castrate account. Talk to ya later, bye. Hello Joel.

While those items may seem random, it's because they're references from American pop culture - "Tool" and "perfect circle" are two of my favorite bands. ; ) Hi Yaniv.

As for this question, I believe that the more important question here is how come you were personally invited to answer this incredibly important question - and did not answer yet! Looking forward to seeing your answer on Yedda... As for why you received this one, I guess that the Yedda active distribution system figured out on its own that it's a pretty good match for <a href="http://yedda.com/people/7358941340178/" rel="nofollow">"tool, basketball, and (?) perfect circle"</a>. Perhaps we should change our slogan to "Interested in silly topics? Get silly questions!" :) I noticed you did get pretty good answers though for the infamous <a href="http://yedda.com/questions/4950145141901/" rel="nofollow">"why is the sky blue"</a>… :)
