Wow.  I have no idea how to answer those questions.  I just forgot my 
password.  It's on jabber.org.  Beyond that - I have no idea.

I don't have a server.  Do you suppose Jabber.org will lend me their "spool 
files" so I can find my password?

If this is the wrong list, then please direct me to the right one. :-)
