  Cannot post comments on WordPress blogs.

  When I try to post a comment on scribblesandsnaps.com (or any other WordPress blog) with the email address “[email redacted]” I get a login form the following message:
  “You are being asked to login because [email redacted] is used by an account you are not logged into now. By logging in you’ll post the following comment to Geotag Photos with Android Camera and digiKam:”

  I don’t remember having ever signed up, but I may have. I do associate with the owner of that blog and it is possible that I have commented in the past. So I click “Lost your password?” and get a form asking for my email address. I enter “[email redacted]” and I get the following error:
  “Unable to reset password
  I’m sorry, but we weren’t able to find a user with that login information.”

  So, if a user with that login information cannot be found, why is it bugging me to login when I try to post with that address?

  The above paragraphs I entered exactly into the a href=”https://wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=recovery”>account recovery form as linked to from the “Unable to reset password” page, and got this frustrating message:
  “Your contact email is the same as your account – if you can receive emails you should try the password reset form instead.”

  That’s right: an infinite loop.

  Hi there,

  The email address I’m seeing associated with the user account dotancohenqqq doesn’t seem like a valid address. I can’t open a support ticket for you, because that address isn’t valid. Could you specify your address (on separate lines) and I will redact it once I have it?

  Cheers!
