Just so that EasyRider doesn't feel completely alone, I was also surprised at the banning, and nearly wrote at the time to express that. Were some of Andrechuk's posts deleted along the way? I read what was available about 24 hours later and didn't see anything that I thought justified the ban. In fact, I did see some posts that seemed to bait him, such as Bert's correction of his grammar. It seems to me that the best way to calm someone who is becoming mildly unruly is to ignore bad behavior until it is extinguished, rather than continually responding in what might appear to be an attempt to have the last word. I know I'm not a regular poster (I try to be helpful when I can, but am no IT expert), but I have become a regular reader over the past few months and I found the ban more disturbing than the posts that led up to it.
