Interesting that Johnson should get mentioned now ... I _just_ had an off-list discussion with someone who wanted to get Johnson back on the list, and wanted to know if I would let him back on. Here's a summary of what I said in the off-list thread:
I haven't banned him ... I simply unsubscribed Johson from the FreeDOS lists after fair warning. He is always welcome to resubscribe ... He's not blacklisted or anything. And if Johnson is having problems doing that, ask him to email me and I can re-add him manually. I am not filtering my email for his address. :-) But Johnson needs to understand that there should be no trolling. We don't need any more flame wars. I dropped him after fair warning for trolling, and he chose to ignore that warning and trolled again anyway. But if Johnson avoids trolling in future, there should be no problem, and he is certainly welcome back on the list. -jh Blair Campbell wrote: > Hi.
