Gentlemen:

I was not "banned" from AAAC.  After I indicated my decision to leave the premises, Andy did send me an email asking me to reconsider.  I declined and asked Malinda to delete my user account and remove my old posts.  Rather than accede to the request, the powers that be simply slapped the "banned" tag on my account, which, to my mind, was a rather heavy handed response to what should have been a fairly easy administrative issue--certainly it impugns my character to some extent but, to be honest, it is a small matter in the larger picture.  So there is no great conspiracy at AAAC, at least not one involving me, and I have no animus towards Andy.

Regards,

Charles
