JAL was not "banned" (that's a very loaded word) and as far as I'm aware,
neither Suzanne nor I ever used the word "ban" or "banned" to him.  What
happened earlier is that the server has been instructed to reject messages
sent with his known 'From:' lines.  In other words, his posting privileges
have been revoked for clearly breaking the T&C, which was an agreement he
agreed to be bound to when he signed up.  "You breaka the rules, we breaka
you face."  It hasn't been discussed or decided when/if the privileges should
be reinstated.  Therefore the word "ban" is inaccurate.
