All is not lost. Talked to my Guru, my Shamman, my big bro, who, once he understood my dilema, talked me down, put out a fire or two, explained that its not possible for someone else to wipe me out of cyber existence. I'm OK now. A little shaken and in need of another glass of red, but much better than 20 minutes ago when all seemed so bleak.
Families! Just gotta make sure they know whos' the big boss around here, I guess.
