That’s right! I was banned, the kindly mods reinstated me, and I’m back! Any Questions? Not to mods: This is not a joke thread, nor am I trying to make any statements about you guys. This is just for a little fun “Ask The” thread. ---

Cause I like Ingrid Bergman, who played Ilsa Lund in Casablanca. I just realized that the mods might find this inappropriate. If theu do, please delete and my apologies. I thought it might be fun. I’m not trying to stir up trouble. ---

What was your first thought when you realized you were banned? How many profane words did you come up with and utter in a row? ---

I’ve wondered what happens when you try to log in and find you’ve been banned. What message do you get? What does the screen look like? Did you get a screen shot? I’ve wondered all this in a purely academic sense, I should stress… ---

did any banned posters try to contact you? I have a guess that there is a club somewhere where they all get together. ---

I have a guess that there is a club somewhere where they all get together. The grapist, Zenster and techchick68 all showed up on my doorstep with a welcoming basket.
