Shearer I certainly haven't read anything suggesting that Thorsten was ejected again. Maybe there are still some negotiations going on? Or maybe they have done something as a temporary measure before deciding? I have no idea what was said in r.g.c.c., did Thorsten say that he was ejected, or was it a third party? As for letting him back in again (the first time), it could be that they thought his future posts would be less out-of-line vis-a-vis the CCC Charter than some of his previous ones. Prisoners get paroled, I don't see too much of a difference. <shrug> Dave Gomboc
