It's not a question of whether Fleming's opinions were popular - it's just that they were wildly irrelevant to the work of this list. Having read many of his postings, I can only conclude that either (a) he was deliberately flame-baiting (and often successfully) or (b) his clue meter for "playing well with others" has actually bent the bottom pin and lodged itself in negative territory. FWIW, I concur with Harald's decision to employ this extreme sanction. Knowing Harald, I am confident it was only after much careful consideration, and after many efforts to resolve the issue in other ways, that he did so. -- Ian
