Hmmm. One thing I was wondering while people were discussing the shortest stint somebody has had before getting banned - what’s the LONGEST existence, either in terms of post count or time, before eventually getting banned? Does **Satan** hold this record? I seem to recall remarks in passing that a moderator was actually banned once, which must have been an entertaining firefight for those of us in the cheap seats.
