>The purpose of banishment is not only a punishment to the offender, but a warning to others that certain behaviors will not be tolerated. So far we don't know what behavior, if any, was punished. Will Jay be banned because he is being a pain in the behind to MF? Will somebody be banned for having a debate about .NET vs. VFP that ruffles feathers of the almighty clique? Will I be banned if I email an interesting post to Kevin?

A pain in the behind to MF? Me?! <g>

I agree with everything you posted. Well said.

Oh, and I'm sure MF is looking to find some minor infraction that he can call me on. Yeah, I guess I really do think that much of myself. <g> Probably why he took on a bunch of volunteers. My only hope is that Grady keeps him honest.
