How to link my previous MSDN account to my new live Id

Question
-
Hi all,
I recently found that using my existing Live Id (myAddress@yahoo.com) (when signing in MSDN forums) was prompting me to verify and said that some services are diisabled. So I signed into live.com with the same id. I found out that my name was changed and I could feel that someone had changed all data there. So as a precaution I deleted my account.
I created a new one (Myaddress@live.in )and now when i am signing to MSDN formums I am into a new profile and all my existing threads are gone. I am actually writting this question on the new profile.
My new profile is "Girija_Shankar" and my old profile was "Girija Shankar" on the new live id
How can I merge both these profiles into one on the new Live Id . i am stuck here. there is no option to do that.
- Girija Shankar

Okay. So here's the profile for your old account: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/profile/girija%20shankar
And here's the profile for your current account: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/profile/girija_shankar
Your ask is to switch the Live IDs between these two profiles. That will give you your current Live ID email mapped to your original account (the link above). That's the goal, right?
To make that request, click "Site Feedback" at the bottom of this page, and make the request. This will basically open a ticket for that team to work with you on the request.

Cannot swap also. Because the previous one (live id : girija45701@yahoo.com) is deleted.
