Humbly report, Ken, I humbly offer the FBN thread as the funniest to me, and I have nothing to do with that: Subject 17449 Pluvia seems to have the last word at the moment: Message 2824396 Only Mad Monk can tell you what really happened. I haven't asked him, so I don't know. Here is his SI profile: Member 1878838 Michal Daniel, aka Bounced Czech got suspended from SI for defying a direct order issued by Jill. An unnounced ban on one-word posting was in effect at the time [since discontinued], and an automatic robot removal of one-word SI posts was in effect [since discontinued]. Surprised by the repeatedly vanishing post of "Duh" in answer to this post, Message 2788729 , he e-mailed Jill and got this answer: ============================================================ Sender: jill@techstocks.com Because we are cracking down on one-word posts. They are not appreciated by our users and they waste everyone's time. Please do not post it again. Jill ---------- From: Michal Daniel[SMTP:102134.2161@compuserve.com] Sent: Friday, November 21, 1997 4:49 PM To: Jill Subject: Third time's the charm!? Jill, this is the THIRD time I posted this THREE letter message. The first two disapeared. Why?

Here is the answer to the next message he sent to Jill: ============================================================ Sender: jill@techstocks.com Because you were sent SPECIFIC instructions not to post one-word posts, and you defied that warning blatantly, as well as sending me an offensive email. You have made a very bold statement about your disinterest in complying with our warnings/requests. Jill ---------- From: Michal Daniel[SMTP:102134.2161@compuserve.com] Sent: Saturday, November 22, 1997 1:48 PM To: Jill Subject: Why am I suspended? "Your posting privileges have been suspended. You may post again after Nov 27 1997 2:44AM EST " This message is all I get, when I hit "respond" on SI since last nite. Why am I being prevented from posting on SI? ============================================================ I'll spare you the details that followed. Anyone that knows how to do an SI search can find the rest, so why bore you, right? :-) Suffice it to say, I am now here in Michal Daniel's, aka Bounced Czech's stead, as per his specific orders, my first post following his very last, and all's well that ends well in SI land. Sure wishes he'd known about this thread at the time: Subject 16294 C'est la vie . . . So, the short answer to your question is no, Bounced Czech is not and will not be back on SI - but I am! I remain, believe it or not, humbly dreaming by the mail slot of the mail room, near the first arch of the Mala Strana side of Charles Bridge, where they serve great hot rum, gratis for me, yours truly, a Svejk
