I think it's pretty clear who has disappeared and who hasn't... at least the noise ratio in some well heeled forums has dropped a huge amount in the past 2 or so weeks (thank god!). I respect Randy's stance - we don't need to know all the details of what goes on, and Randy is also being fair to the posters concerned. And remember folks, it *is* Randy's board so his right to do as he pleases with it, but the best thing is to be fair and consistent, and so if Randy gave us a public comment about one person, he'd have to do it for all and it just doesn't warrant it. Besides, as I got a private email from at least one FT'er confirming one recent banning/timeout, the news still finds ways to leak out.

Keep up the great work Randy, and it is a pity your attention needs to be dragged away from the important stuff for this administrivia, but I guess that is life in any kind of community. In a former life I had to be a "cop" of sorts, and it was not something I enjoyed doing one little bit, and I suspect Randy feels the same.
