'just a quick reminder to folks who have been banned -- you have been banned because you've proven that you cannot follow the simple rules of this community, and have failed, on more than one occassion to modify your behavior after being given a few opportunities to do so.' okaaay.. question? how does someone thats been banned.. read that message about being banned? I ask, not cos I'm banned, but because of someone on the ISP area I'm on, keeps REPEATEDLY misentering their password and locking out most of Leeds UK! so if a banned person can get round a locked out IP number... why can't I?
