So I stand somewhat corrected... I emailed one of the accounts from work to
myself today to try to open it here.  Turns out DLS is smart enough to ask
for the correct stamp and won't let me into this account.

Perhaps I shall call them tomorrow then.  It wouldn't be the end of the
world if all the accounts were ever lost off of there, but it would be a
pain in the ass.
