>1. I don't read most of the posts in those threads. But, they are there, cluttering up what could be a fantastic forum. Think of the person coming here for the first time and they see far more of those types of threads than technical content.

>2. Michel and Kevin may indeed resolve whatever issue exists between them, but that still won't change Michel's stand that he won't give out any specifics on bannings and may or may not result in Kevin's return.

Kevin added to the technical content. I have certainly benefited by his technical posts.

Michael's stand isn't going to make the chatter on this go away. If Kevin doesn't want to come back, then it's basically moot. If he does and Michael not only refuses to tell us why, but refuses to tell Kevin why, it's going to fester.
