Yep, I really do try to take care of business off the list and I don't announce that a member has been banned unless they've caused so much trouble that I get an overwelming number of complaints about that individual. I've only ever had to bann one person in the 5 years i've been running a list and it hurt like hell to have to do it but I had to. Ok. now, let's turn our attention back to pc-audio!
