Yeah, having a common username risks some of that. Somebody likely forgot their password and partially forgot their username and e-mail address. Digging through the logs, my best guess at who: the owner of sandygallant.

But, whoever it is, if they read this thread, they can search through all of the users with "sandy" as part of the name via ?node_id=3989;HIT=sandy;U (just hit the "Search" button after following that link) in hopes of one of them looking familiar.

That feature certainly tries to avoid allowing people to discover if a particular e-mail is being used at PerlMonks, but that also makes it rather opaque and vague so people can end up trying it over and over (because they get no solid feedback and then also get no e-mail).

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
