Thank you, thank you, thank you! At least someone understands what I'm
talking about :-) I already thought that I'm getting grazy. 

I have to admit that I haven't really thought this whole registration
thing through properly. In addition, I have been sloppy with talking
about two different concepts, registration and subscription (sorry
Simon, et al) - which is partly due to my English.

I think I originally registered at the Ubuntu Linux main web site and
didn't know about the Wiki at that phase. That's how I got the idea of
separate registration to www.ubuntulinux.org. It would have helped if I
had noticed this sentence in the FAQ (don't know if it was there then):
"The wiki and the web site share the same account information." On the
other hand, there is a "Join" link at the main page, so maybe it wasn't
that strange to think the way I did (? :-) Maybe this thing should be
mentioned at the main registration page? (It's mentioned in the
registration FAQ though).

Now I have the information I needed, thanks Stuart. I created a new
account with my new e-mail address and until the new system for account
maintainig is rolled out, the old one exists too.

Thanks everybody for your replies :-)
