What podrock said
There's a known bug in the software we're using that causes emails to sometimes go astray, and add that on top of the normal odds of spam filters misfiring and other mishaps, and you're not alone. I recognized the handle under which you registered--you "made the cut"--and sent out the confirmation email 43 days ago, according to your account record.
I've just marked your record as validated, skipping the part where you receive the email and click a link to confirm. The password you gave 43 days ago should work fine. If you still can't get in, please let me know.
