Well chaps, I'm even more pissed off than usual. Whatever account I created this morning in Google, I don't even know what it is. No kidding. I now have two Gmail accounts including the useless new one which is somehow linked to my primary business domain. I have trawled the web for instructions on how to delete this "Account" I have created (whatever it is), but none of the instructions even vaguely match the screens I'm looking at. I'm now stuck with some sort of domain-linked Gmail login that is impossible to delete.
My original mission was to point MX records for some domains to this new account, but now I blame dyndns.org for making it utterly impossibly to enter MX records. So I just gave up and decided to delete this useless account about 2 hours ago, and I'm still trying. FUBAR as usual.
