OK m8 this will help us all, when did you register for the usb single user and when did you get the email and where are you based?

We all think no-one has the single user email and confirmation so this will give us all hope.

I have to be honest and say i cant remember when i registered, probably around June i think... I got the email last wednesday at 3:36pm... the text of the mail (less the customer references etc.. ) was as follows...
