Hm, I'd say we need to get a code for a Vigniere cipher off this "Recruit169"
I'm going to guess "NotInternetTelephonyButChat" means IM and try that.

Hm. Could recruit 169 be someone that replied to the email back on page 10? *ponder* I wonder how we'd know what number we were if that was the case.

Well, adding contacts on Yahoo IM isn't working properly right now, so I'll try again when the site changes.
I'll see if there's an email or something I can send to.

Good going Rogi!
