I might be in the minority here, but if you have been gone for a long(ish) time and your CS was not that great to begin with, I suggest to go ahead and try to make a new one. Of course, MFC might still realize that you already had an account, and tell you to use it instead, but that's the worst that could happen, right? Why not attempt to start fresh? Yeah, it's kinda cheating the system (and I'm normally against that), but if you've been gone so long that you don't have any regulars that know you, you'll be starting from scratch anyway. I say give it a shot. Cause it's hard enough being a new model (or returning and being practically new again)... we need all the help we can get! *shrug*
