I'm not crazy, right?  That means someone is trying to get into my account, right?  What I don't understand is why that person would try to do that if they don't know what my e-mail is.
Even if the person just knows your e-mail, they can't get into your account, the person must have to compromise your email so when the message is sent to the email they can reset the passpord. Using the "forgot password" function when you have not taken custody of the email is a waste of time. I feel this is not a serious hack attempt, maybe somebody is just playing around.
I'm wondering if one of those people thought I used whatever e-mail they had as my forum e-mail....and that's a frightening thought.
Not too frightening The Pharmacist, if you still have the e-mails, confirm that they have not been compromised and change their passwords if possible, if they are toss-out e-mails you have no more and is not connected to you in any manner, you can forget about it. I still feel someone is just playing around, though do some security necessities.
So if you should happen to see my account start posting in the Russian section or if my English deteriorates to brain-vegetable bounty hunter quality, just know that I got hacked and neg my account to high hell until I get it back. 
Grin unlikely to happen. You will get your account back fast if it happens though because of your reputation.
