Notwithstanding Ethan's comment about having posted the suspension notice

My apologies to you and the list. I did indeed only send the notice to
the other moderators.
I have updated the filter that should be catching your posts, so
hopefully the suspension is now working properly. Since you did choose
to ignore the ban, the two-month period restarts now.
As a reader of /occasional contributor to, this newsgroup (via GG, admittedly)
since around the year 2000, I for one am mightily unimpressed with this.
There's a lot of heavy-handedness going around.
And then ... you make a mistake, and then restart the ban?? Sheesh, where has
happened to the the grown-up behaviour that c.l.python has always had?
That has been one of its hallmarks for the past nearly twenty years.
I'm not going to go as far as to agree with anything RR says on the matter -
but c'mon guys, lighten up.
Yeah I don't understand this neither.
I'm not very active here, but I've been lurking for years. In my eyes
Steven has always been active and helpful. Now he has *once* been a
*tiny bit* rude, and he's banned for that?
As far as I can see the moderators do a pretty good job overall, but
this decision is ... weird.
