Piotr consulted other team admins. He may have been the public face of the decision, but it wasn't his alone. It was also unique. I don't recall even considering such a step any other time, before or since. This was not about isolated mistakes. We've all made those. I do not, however, think it's useful to rehash the details. I do think it is worth mentioning that since he's back in the team it wasn't without limit. Scott K
