Maybe not!

Update it here:
http://news.lugnet.com/news/post/setup/

Then, since you're having trouble and we need to trace this one of us will
approve it right away. Then try posting to off-topic.test and send the admins
(and TODD) the exact error you get, if any. If you don't get any, a note to the
admins saying that would be nice.

It IS a ToS violation not to go to this page:
http://news.lugnet.com/news/post/setup/
and go through posting setup WHENEVER your email address changes.

Why?

It is MANDATORY that admins have a way to contact you if there is a need. You
can spam disguise it if you like in what appears on the site but a human who has
little tolerance for guesswork (such as me, I am more finicky and reject more
spam disguises than Todd does) MUST be able to easily and unambiguously decode
it without any special knowledge.

For instance my own disguise:
   "Larry Pieniazek" <larry.(mylastname)@ascentialsoftware.DOT.com>
is quite unambigous, in my view.

Hope that helps.
