Help! Frustration With "tinyurl" [1]

Last night, I had a wonderful conversation going with someone whose "tiny name" started with "angel...." . I can't remember the rest. I was waiting for her answer to one of my comments, and then something happenend, that has been a problem with tinyurl for a while for me, now. It disconnected me. When I tried to get back on, it gave me the message of: " This username already exists, try another one." Urgh! I couldn't get back on. I even tried switching to from Firefox to Google. No luck. Has anyone else had this problem? Does anyone know the remedy to this problem, or why it happens? I to appologize to you, angel......  and want to continue the conversation, if possible.
