Apologies for continuing this thread against my better judgement. We've all got better things to do.

Hoghead asked, in part:

"Who else has been banned and came back under a new ID? I can't think of any, Can you?"

None who came back under a new ID but at least one who came back under the same ID, not once but twice (not CG whose continuing presence is fine with me) and who gains an astonishing number of recommendations for each post. This forum is tainted as a result and the reason why I contribute so rarely. I still come to read those who show perseverance in contributing messages which contain value, whatever the point of view - you all know which kind of contributor you are.

Back to lurking and waiting for as long as it takes.
