So, what do you suggest, we have her shot at dawn as an inconvenience to custom and practise or what?

I don't think anybody has suggested that... yet

Ming,

Sorry. That came out more waspish than I intended. I just want to get this sorted for her as she (and especially my wife) will just give me hell.

Two weeks ban from all that would be paradise!

Hmmm... maybe we have finally come up with a better punishment for you for your past DL's

Brian Bug,

It's the boy who cried wolf thing...

[Brian the Bug Master]

GP,

Only I'm not crying wolf. I'm not even crying. All I'm saying is that sniffing IPs like this without putting things in context produces results as if something more potent was being sniffed.

I am not claiming the right to have the population of London logged onto my computer ad infinitum and giving myself the ability to deny all responsibility. I am saying that, in the past, circumstances occurred that allowed the confusion here to happen. That these events are unlikely to happen again in the future seems to elude your thinking on this.

The truth about it is this. Someone who has done no wrong has been banned. So, again, rather than having a bit of fun digging at me, which by the way is hardly speeding this matter to resolution, what do you suggest?

Ming, I would suggest there is something in international conventions about that.

[TCO]

Brain (Mike? ), I was just trying to tease you bout the DLs. If you are going to have multiple people use your machine, you might want to keep your nose clean. (I was trying to tease you obliquely...not come out like a moralist. Capiche?)

[TCO]

The point was that you screw around with a knife like that and someone gets an eye poked...

[MOBIUS]

Well Brian,

This can all be independently varified if you and Nadia come down to the ACOL Challenge in London on the 27th...

Otherwise we will remember your JETW thread about having 3 women on the go at the same time, when we know that was a Crock! (DL)

And we won't believe you ever again!

[Brian the Bug Master]

I just got back to work today and found and e-mail from Nadia sent before Christmas. She has e-mailed MarkG as Ming suggested but hadn't heard anything at that time. Has this been sorted out yet? I think she is due back this weekend or next week.

Mobius. It would certainly prove matters. I can't speak for Nadia but, unfortunately, I won't be there. So, if she decides to come and I can't then it must prove that I don't exist.

[Allemand]

From what I've read here, I'm a DL and Apolytoners who share a computer risk being banned.

Wouldn't the intent of the DL be an important consideration? A person can't very well argue two sides of a question without confusing people, so that would be a case where a DL is useful. On the other hand, using a DL to hide behind in order to flame someone, is wrong.

It would seem that a person's postings should be evaluated, rather than the person.

[Brian the Bug Master]

Probably some tech screw-up. I'll e-mail her and ask her to resend. Thanks.

Allemand,

Sorry I missed your post. That's a fair point.

Anyone who has seen the content of Nadia's posts on here would clearly see that she posts about very different things and in a very different style to me.

[MikeH]

Yeah... just don't tease her about her 'accent'.
