so i'm doing the email management thingy to remove an old hotmail address i was using with this lj before the current gmail one. however, it's not letting me select the old account to delete it.

can anyone explain in really small words what this long-ass sentence means? i've re-read it like 10 times and it's like my brain's english-to-spanish translator shuts down every time i try to make sense of it.

This page only lets you remove e-mail addresses that were used after the first time you used the e-mail address your account is currently validated with.

i actually went and deleted that hotmail address a few days ago. does that have anything to do with it?
