Brian,I don't mean to sound sarcastic or anything, but if we were "banned", would the system even allow us to post? I thought the whole idea behind the concept of "banning" was that we were not allowed to post anything to the list any longer. I hope you are not saying that the system on which this forum runs has a loophole? I trust the judgement of all the moderators here. If you have to ban someone, ANYONE, I expect you to have a good reason for doing so, as should any of the subscribers to this list. If someone is Banned for whatever reason, even if I disagree with the reason, I would prefer NOT to see them on this list again, unless that person is reinstated. If your system continues to allow someone to come back even after they have been banned (and yes, I realize they could open a free E-Mail account, like Yahoo or Hotmail, and use a new pseudonim to get on), I would hope that you would be looking to fix that hole real soon.

Ballpark,I take your point. No action was taken on itdoesntfit's account, therefore he could easily have continued to post. I just wanted to make clear and public that we do not ban people from this site and the post that "banned" itdoesntfit was from an imposter. Thaks for giving me the opportunity to put that straight. |

Beta1: itdoesntfit isn't Trippin Daily.Everyone else: If Brian Reynolds ever came anywhere near this site, do you think for a moment he'd bother to post anything, with all these silly messages to wade through? And anyway... Bry Unn Renn Oldz is the only REAL Brian you're likely to find round here... and even he seems to have lost heart since he was voted Forum President and vanished, never to be heard of again...

"Bry Unn" has been around for quite awhile. His spelling is, uh ... unique.Basically you have to sound out the words. Here is what BURO wrote: Hai Nell! - Hi (Hey?) Nell! Eye em Phourum Prezidet end Kheeng uv Luhrkurs! Pleez youze kohrekt tietulls wenn reefereeng two mi. - I am Forum President and King of Lurkers! Please use correct titles when referring to me. End sins Eye em Kheeng uv Luhrkurs, ewe wood eggspekt mi two pohsst ohnlee wonz een uh wil. - And since I am King of Lurkers, you would expect me to post only once in awhile. SMAC n ... Ted S. |

HA!! I knew you wouldn't let us down, Bry Unn (King of Phonetics, as well as Lurkers)... I guess you've been busy fixing the infinite missile range bug and working on SMACX? Or possibly checking out Brit Babe and her bonsai tree?  Nell {waving to Ted} PS: Anyway, what IS real?! Hey I've just been to see The Matrix (again)... and I'm starting to wonder... surely these forums have to be a trick played on us by some AI somewhere, laughing as it sends yet another PB 20,000 tiles across Chiron...  |

Hm. I guess that retention is good for sports commentators. You'd probably have to do like OJ to get the network to drop you. I mean, even Marv has been re-hired.On the subject of wrestling announcers, I saw an ad on TV a few months ago here in Peoria. It was for "Mean Gene's Burgers(?!?!!)" I am not making this up. It's interesting, but I haven't seen any franchises on the street yet. Has anybody seen a Mean Gene's establishment? |

Not that this is related to anything at all, but talking about WWF reminds me... I went to Florida in January, and there was this radio show, something like the Drew and Daniel Show, on Real Radio 104.1, and the two guys would never shut up about some guy called Penny Hardaway(?). Anyway, one night they had a massive row on-air about this guy, and about whether or not he should play for a different team or something, so we turned the radio off, then went out for the evening, then turned it back on three hours later, and these two guys were *still* arguing about Penny Hardaway... they were really mad by now, but it just sounded so funny  What is even more priceless is that they must have fallen out so badly that one of them left the show, coz when we went back to Florida in June, it was just the Drew Show, with no Daniel, and a lot of bitchy remarks going on about the missing Daniel, too... hehe Who IS Penny Hardaway? And why would two grown men get so upset about him? An ignorant Brit needs to know. Nell... mystified (but still amused)  |

Hey IDF we didn't give you permission to speak.Penny Hardaway is the point gueard for the Orlando Magic NBA basketball team. I believe he is still playing for them. He's a great player. Some people don't like he's style of play though. Too selfish etc. When you can drive to the basket like that why bother dishing the ball off. Anyway was this central florida? Basketball is all they got pretty much. For football they have to root for the dolphings or jaguars. |

Krushala: Thanks for the info... it was Orlando... but I think Real Radio comes from New York or somewhere... it's the station that Howard Stern owns, as far as I know... some funny stuff on there  Nell |
