Hi Howitzer,

mwitters sent me a PM, asking me to "prove" that he ain't a pirate. I told him that I cannot do that as I don't know him. I also told him that, especially as a forum member who has been around for _quite_ a long time, he should have learnt by now that moderators jump on the expression "I/he/she/we/they don't have an original copy" or equivalent and that everyone is banned for such warez talking. No exceptions - not even senior members, as it has been pointed out before!

Yes, I understand that it is a very uneasy situation for both of you. What I do _not_ understand is why you are surprised at the result of something that is definitely considered not welcome here.

Like _I_ have been around for a long time (actually, if I'm not mistaken, I've been around here more than anyone else, except for the moderators) and I've _never_ been banned. Why? Because I don't do anything stupid, it's this simple...

One request to BountyWarrior though: I hope mwitter's ban is temporary, is it? I think two weeks of, khm, "mandatory absence" should be (more than) enough for a lesson... Thanks,

Joe
