When You 1st Uploaded Your Key Big Lumber sent a Log-In Token to the
Email Address on the Primary UID on the Key.  Big Lumber identifies Keys
by the Primary UID on the Key.

There are 3 Main ways to get in 'trouble' with Big Lumber.

1.)  Lose/Forget Your Log-In Token/Password
2.)  Upload a Key with a Free Form UID as Primary. [Free Form means no
Email Address associated with it]
3.)  Lose the Password *and* have abandoned the Email Address shown as
Primary UID on the Stored Key.  This results in even if You successfully
identify the Email Address showing as Primary on the Uploaded Key; Big
Lumber will send the replacement Token/PW to that address & if You've
abandoned or lost access to that address You are S.O.L.  Using Big
Lumber _requires_ that attention be paid to proper maintenance of Your
stored Key there.

Big Lumber offers 3 Features that make it superlative in My estimation.

a.)  It is FREE
b.)  I have 100% Control over the appearance of the Key stored there.
c.)  The 'Key Exchange Service' prevents being burned by Signature
Deadbeats.  :)

If You have fallen victim to any of the items listed 1 through 3 then
all is not lost.  There is an inconvenient & time consuming method of
regaining access to Your Key.  This entails Emailing the Owner and
outlining Your plight.  Chris does make every reasonable effort to
assist.  However, due to item a.) listed above maintaining Big Lumber is
primarily a labor of love and at the time Your request arrives Chris may
be 'in love' with doing other things and it can take some time for Him
to attend to Your problem.

Contact Me Off List and I shall attempt to offer some constructive
suggestions if any of the above applies in Your case.  :-\
