You meant Jarvis? Sadly (for him), his fate was sealed. The Zen Forum takes moderating seriously, and anyone who accepts the job must be willing to make the supreme sacrifice if his or her performance is deemed unworthy. Thus, ego must be extinguished; and so all moderators must take the name of Al. This anonymity is a symbol of our humility. So we all work as one Al. Where one Al ends, and the next Al begins, only Buddha can tell, as usually the seppuku ritual is carried out in secrecy. However, because Jarvis had gotten so out of control (and had refused to use the traditional name of Al); a public example was made so that all the Als would know that there is no room for duality in Zen. Let no one mention Jarvis again. Hopefully he has gone on to the great void or perhaps he has already begun to turn the Dharma Wheel reincarnated as a flea. The New Al ------------------------ Yahoo!
