All I can say is to be careful and I hope you didn't delete that original mail notification about the Free Org you created.

I thought I had lost all of my RSS Feeds and Bots I had set up in the First Free Org.

Forrest_H OK then, it looks to me like I should definitely keep that email around, so I can use the Personal organization. Thank you for the warning! And it looks like it doesn't matter if I keep the older one around. For now, I'll leave it alone.

Thank you for your input!
