So it looks like you were pointing out that IF it was Short, there's good reason why he didn't post, because he is busy. And therefore, the matter will be forgotten for a few days by people who might want to complain about Steens disapprearence, thinking that even YOU entertain the possibility of him being Nigel Short, without you having to admit that you had him banned. So you DID ban him (or get him banned). And as I said, i thought that was very nasty. I don't feel that he violated forum etiquette, and if he did, it would have been microscopically so, compared to many others here. And even that might have been justifiable, as it was in self-defence. And, a tremendous expert might be forgiven to say that others who are far below him look like patzers, especially when critiscized by them as if HE is a patzer who is talking like a big expert. I'm sorry! I'm dissapointed! S.Taylor
