Thank you, Dan.  Your point is very well made indeed.

I think this is the crux of the matter.  Darrell is very welcome to
contribute to this, or any other, community forum hosted by e-smith.
We appreciate his contributions to the e-smith user and developer
community, and in particular the great work he put into the Howtos he
wrote.

However, that's a separate issue to the business relationship between
e-smith and DMC Netsourced, and of course it is not appropriate for us
to discuss the matter here.  

However, I do assure you all that e-smith did not take this step lightly, 
and that we are mature enough to take honest criticism, and weren't so hurt 
by Darrell's mis-directed complaints here on devinfo the other day as to 
take disproportionate action against him or his company.
