I don't know the email on the account so I can't send an email to it. We only store the hash of the email for privacy reasons. Hashes are one-way functions - given the email address, we can determine the account it belongs to, but given the account, we don't know which email belongs to it.
Does that make sense? If you want to send me a list of email address you'd like me to check, I can, but that's not much different from you trying to login with them.
Yeah, I understand. I just thought maybe you had a way to send an email that de-hashed on the fly or something. The email I thought it was was theroyalrainbow.com. I KNOW it originally used twitter, and I do not recall shutting it off, but adding the email as a backup to get into it. That's an irony, I suppose.
