I _think_ there have been instances of someone being banned for a week or a month - I think indefinite bans were called out as being inappropriate in one case. I'd have to defer to those with more patience to dig through Debian mailing list archives. I do remember one instance - a very long time ago - where someone was banned after two posts or thereabouts - a Finnish neo-Nazi, I think, who abused the lists with political ranting. Listmasters' discretion is always the final arbiter. Andy Cater
