well frak me gently with a chainsaw

clone resolved
i emailed the, uh, life group moderator and she was able to pass the message along to my clone. he emailed me from her account and his email address has a number at the end (which apparently he forgets to put in). so now at least i have a place to forward the misdirected emails…
