Larry... perhaps people have been a little quick to judgement, on both sides. I know that I for one feel a little bit unfairly treated by the way you so callously dropped the 'sanctions' on me, without so much as a warning. Maybe, in the interest of practicality and fairness, you could implement a multi-tiered sanctioning system. LEVEL 1: The person is allowed a limited number of unsolicited posts to you... say, 3 per week. LEVEL 2: The person may only post to you if you first post to him/her. LEVEL 3: That's it, boy. In the doghouse. No communication for any reason! LEVEL 4: The person may not even lurk on any threads you post to. You can have a system where a written warning is given before progressing to the next level. That way, proper deterrents can be in place to discourage un-Larrylike behavior, while preventing the sudden "oh-my-god-im-doomed-cause-i-cant-post-to-larry-anymore" feeling that is cruel and unnecessary. Of course, I'm sure that more details would need to be worked out for the implementation, but can we at least agree in principle on this? ~Mitch
