Hi David I agree - it is most likely that such spoilers are either not regular members... or possibly someone with an axe to grind and retribution in mind. But frankly, I don't care whether they care about a ban or not, just so long as we get rid of them ASAP and take whatever measures are technically possible to prevent them returning under a pseudonym. Incidentally, lest any new-ish members should find all this rather disturbing, perhaps it's as well to make clear that it is not just a problem on this forum - indeed it seems a rare occurrence here to me, this being one of the better behaved and more civilised places I have visited. I have seen similar activities elsewhere, and I suspect most forums of this nature on any subject tend to suffer the occasional fool who tries to spoil it for others for whatever motive. So for the good guys: hang together and don't vote with your feet. It is always sad when a giving and talented individual (you will know who I mean, and I hope you will reconsider) leaves a forum over such petty antics - the loss makes the impact the greater for the rest of us, and in a sense plays into the hands of the buffoon who caused the problem in the first place. There you go - my last words on the subject. (Well, for now.)
