Personally, I disagree with this conjecture.

I guess this might mean you have not altogether enjoyed some of my OT contributions. ;-) I realize I don't please everyone. To fantasize that I do would have been exceedingly egotistical of me. Actually, on a more serious note, we do not know how long this "temporary ban" could be in effect. Or at least it's not clear to me. It's possible valuable contributors, like Jed, could be carrying out their "time-out" sentence for weeks. It's up to the god of Vortex-l to decide the length of punishment... a punishment for which, IMHO, Jed is nothing more than a victim of collateral damage. Personally, I don't think it is wise to have Jed temporarily banned, even for a day. The vast majority of Jed's comments are precisely on-topic. They tend to be timely and news worthy. Again, I offer myself as an exchange prisoner if it would hasten Jed's speedy return to Vortex-l. Regards Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
