Occasionally they ban people over there just from posting on this board.

Of course, occasionally, it has nothing to do with anything whatever, and is just a glitch.

And sometimes, they ban people for no particular reason at all.

Be afraid. . .be very afraid.

Uhhh, yeah.

I think I'll be more afraid about what will happen if I actually replaced my message board time with something like a real hobby. Wouldn't hurt if I got motivated to take up something a bit more praiseworthy like kayaking, biking, chess, music, gardening, or many other things.

My guess is that Brent or someone on Brent's behalf contacted them about it.

I'm making an electric guitar. That's a pretty cool hobby. I can suggest a couple of books if you're interested. ;-)

wow. I'm nowhere near handy enough for that. However, I did build my own balance board, which was easy and a lot of fun.

KAYAKING? Are you crazy? Haven't you seen the valtrex commercials? They amply demonstrate that kayaking too much is the way to get genital herpes!

Is that inside information on Mr. England?

I don't know about our venerable Mr. Englund, but I do know that those Valtrex commercials always show their consumers kayaking.
