Albatross - better write and tell me a little story.
While composing you should consider this. The site is run on industrial strength unix - every single event is recorded. Every keystroke and action - the lot.
You have never written on any other forum. Why would it cross the mind of any other mod on the site to 'ban' you? Are you confusing usernames that you might have gotten you into trouble elsewhere????
If you were banned someone must have suddenly unbanned you for you to post - that is not the case. Have you reloaded your operating sytem, browser or altered privac y /firewall software settings?
If you were banned when did you work this out and how many times did you write to us regarding sorting it out between April and the present date? (Remember what I said about the unix bit and our records though.)
If you write I'll be asking you about cookies stored on your machine. As an example if using two usernames or more the inexperienced computer user can effectively ban one of their identities unknowingly. Essentially we are looking at cockup versus conspiracy.
If banned why on earth would we unban you and allow you to start posting again? While not wishing to crush you or your ego with unkindness, everyone had forgotten you existed until you revived the thread yourself.
We are not shy. Cap 56 knows he only operates here under the strictest of supervision by me or Danny. We sign with our own real names. Have a think about the foregoing and then write to me - for the first time.
