Hi @lbv79 - we don't encourage people to post email addresses and other personal information on the open forum. If you need to provide information of that type it is best to use a private message. I am going to close this thread and if you cannot edit your post to remove the email address - I will ask a Community Manager to do it in order to protect the information.
Can you contact your friend by email to find out what 'name' he is going by here in the community? Are you friends on Facebook - can you contact him via messenger/FB?
