Hmm... I did some googleing and apparently other people have run into this. Seems maybe they had .uk accounts too.

But, this is certainly a bug in their membership system. Having two accounts with the same username boggles the mind... for example what would happen it:

1. You changed your password on one account to the same as the other account?

2. You used the forgot password feature. Which password would it send to you since it can only identify you by your user name?

I think there is a security glitch here.

If you try to create a new account with your current email address (username) does it let you?

I wonder if I could change my username to the same as another account. Hmmm?

Sorry, as a web app developer that has to think and worry about security and privacy all the time I am shocked to hear you have two accounts with the same username.
