I guess it was the fact that you more than once stated the reason for
listing in BRBL *is* foo, although the snippet of evidence you showed
for that clearly claimed it *might* be the reason, one possibility out
of a number of reasons, with a few common ones listed. Of which you
picked two to jump on.
Anyway, later in the thread you clearly said you where actually not
arguing /based/ on being RP Certified. Hence me specifically qualifying
my statements with how I understood yours.

See, that might be it. I don't have a degree in English Literature. And
as a matter fact, English isn't my mother tongue, either -- so if you
get too fancy with your language, you might lose your readers. ;)

No need for public consultation, but without public disclosure of
internal nomenclature, a term's exact definition might not be clear to
everyone, leaving room for interpretation. Hence me implicitly asking.

Suspended on request by the client, suspended due to complaints pending
investigation, or forcefully suspended due to abuse and violating the
terms of accreditation?
My irritation might also come from the fact, that "suspended user" was
used in the sense of terminated, "shut down account" in the resolution
note of my ticket with SSSL / SSC.
I don't whine about FNs by accreditation services or disable whitelists.
That would be easy. I report abuse, in an attempt to make the service
better and for everyone to benefit by that. As you might recall from the
dev list, Neil. ;)
