last boring post now i have to wait?  there needs to be someway to not allow changing the email address or at least a notification to the original email address.  I cant believe they could just change the email address and the security question.  what good are those two if they can be changed...

This is what I was thinking. However, I'll never underestimate the ability of people to use poor passwords.
