>>>>>>This is pure speculation, but I wonder if you use an aircard while traveling and logging into the UT from those locations (different ip addresses are assigned) if it appears as if someone else is using your account? I know that Kevin recently traveled to Harrisburg, Allentown, Philadelphia, and New Jersey and used his aircard to access the UT while in those locations. Michel may be under the mistaken impression that someone else was logging in under Kevin's UT account while he was in those locations. He was in Allentown, PA last Friday using his aircard.
>>>>>
>>>>>That is certainly a possible explanation for the events that occured.

>>>Hi Mike :)

>>>I believe more or less everybody could be under suspicion that more then one person using the same account (PUTM especially). We all connect from various places. In my case that would be 2 different IP every day. If I travel, I will connect from whatever computer have internet connectione. If I am logged to some some foreign country server via TS, I could connect from there as well. So what do multiple IP origins really mean in terms of proving anything ?
>>>
>>>As You said it must have been more then just one thing that happened, amounting to final decision. I don't believe for a moment that it was 'impulse' decision by MichaelF.
>>>
>>>As for Kevin; I don't know really what to say. Guy is very knowledgeable and was valuable source of info to NET members, but he was also also source of
>>>some frustration to others (senior VFP echalons especially).
>>>
>>>Despite some real blunders like that 'Iran2ParkingLot Conversion'
>>>or (to some) very irritating call to reinstantiate JVP, at the end guy had some real sense of humor and also showed he had nerve to stand up against unjustice (Naomi's Case) in the past; So At the end, I will remember him fondly :)
>>>
>>>Almost, UT might become more of a quiet place from now on.
>>>
>>
>>Hopefully not too quiet....
>>
>>I agree with about everything you say about Kevin. In the complete absence of clarification from Michel about what happened, the duration of the ban is one of the many unknowns. I hope Kevin returns at some point.

>As far as I know, JVP was the first banishment and the first to return.
>After MichelF's experience wit that I'd guess that returns are not a realistic alternative any more.

As with all matters UT, your guess is as good as any! ;-)
