confusing issue! it seems that it was mismosh between email addresses used in distant past, recent past, and currently; and, real machines vs Virtual Machines. Consider the possibilities! The smoke has not fully cleared but VS is now running on real hardware win10. Next time I boot up the VMware win10 I'm expecting an implosion.
EDIT: reading my original post about this 24 hrs later, my wording was much tamer than I was feeling... AND the last of several emails I sent Dan after I discovered the mismosh, reads like a comedy skit from 1940s, like Who's on first, What's on second, I doubt Dan can follow it even if he's looks that my VS account(s) online. I think Dan's system is designed for people with one email address??
