Hi marshymutt. If someone has used your email address to register a Twitter account, you can take over that account by doing this:
1. Go to Twitter's Password Resend page at http://twitter.com/account/resend_pas...
2. In the form provided, enter your email address and click the [Reset my password] button.
This causes Twitter to send an email to your email address. That email will contain a link that you can click to change the password of the Twitter account that is using your email address.
3. Login to your email account and look for the password reset email from Twitter. Click the link in that email.
4. In the web page that loads, specify a new password for the Twitter account. Once you've changed the password, the Twitter account will now be under your control.

Christa,
I understand and sympathize with your problem. I was invited to join Twitter and found, when trying to register, that my email address, which is my full name @hotmail.com...obviously belonging to me and no one else for many years...already existed. That person is not me and using not only my email address but also my name. I have o idea how or what they have said, but I have never been a member of Twitter before so feel publicly assaulted and robbed.
A comment on the question "What is Twitter's stance toward abuse?" in Twitter:
"Twitter is not a judge for resolving disputes over most content issues—our focus is on service."
Then you need to rewrite your terms of service, which presently outlaw "abuse and harassment". – charlesarthur, on September 01, 2008 21:44

By the way -- Crystal started a new topic regarding the change to protected profiles.
I suggest that we log any bugs / issues that we encounter (if any) with this protected profile change in the other thread, so they'll be easier to find and track.
The new thread is here:

We finally got this fix out the door; it was amazingly tricky from a code management perspective because of the number of moving parts. And, of course, it kept getting pushed because of needed stability work.
Please let us know if you run into bugs with the new functionality. There are additional enhancements we wanted to make (like showing the number of follower/following counts for the requesting user) that had to be cut because of performance reasons. They're still on the list tho'.
Glad folks are happy about the change; thanks for hanging in there as we fixed it.

I would guess it's because they've had their hands full with all the scaling & restoring work they've had to do recently. Being part of a tech startup myself I can understand how the best intentions sometimes have to be set aside when you find yourself needing to deal with mission-critical issues.
That being said, an update would be much appreciated. Is this still on a short-term roadmap? Has it been indefinitely postponed?-
