Re: That wasn't the answer we were expecting

Hans, Yeah that's true, however I think if the form label mentioned the word "Authorization" i may have connected the dots easier. I read it as which email do "I" have to email now with "I" been the website not myself. It would be clearer to me if it was: "Which email do *you* have to email now for authorization?".
