Milt has a point. I'd keep on topic when it comes to technical stuff. In fact, Tabs, if you have an opinion about any technical matters, it would be refreshing to hear them. I'd hate to think such a free-thinking mind as yours is relegated to acerbic altruisms that nonetheless, in my opinion, have more veracity than conjecture.

As for "banning one from the board," I think that process is the cheapest autocratic way any public vessel of communication can conduct itself. It wreaks of those unable to stand the heat but refuse for self-serving reasons to leave the kitchen.

In fact, I'd be very careful about "banning" anyone. A man of wealth and taste may very well be that (who here REALLY knows Tabs, and from what background he comes?) and as I've seen in my few years of life, men of wealth and taste tend to hire lawyers of wealth (from litigation) and taste (taste FOR litigation), for all reasons conceivable and fanciful - banishment from a web board notwithstanding.
