This occurred in the previous forum software John, before the present hosting. As remarked above, I didn't even know that particular public conversation area existed and, no doubt like many, I never found it, so I wasn't surprised at their mistake in thinking it private. .

I actually don't know the content, not even knowing what area the conversation was in. However, my choice of "disparaging" was diplomatic. I'm sure that was not the word the administrator had in mind at the time! ;) .

In post 27 I gave the reason: "the ban resulted from messages between each other that were disparaging of other members. They both thought they were in a private message area of the forum, but where it was in fact publically viewable." And as I mentioned in post 30, there had been previous...

:D. I didn't think you would offer for one moment Dave, my post intended for the readership in general. I have in fact had past generous offers when my attitude to them was not known, so it's good to refresh memories. .

There have been appeals, but they've fallen on deaf ears. One can perhaps understand that since both had been warned and banned previously and been forgiven afterwards. In fact Eddie, who lives not far from me, told me he didn't want to return, so a successful appeal could have no result. .

No, I remain as cynical as you about battery announcements. The one thing that makes this a little more of a possibility than the theoretically based announcements is that these batteries have been successfully built with the low weight and very high capacity. So only the life is a problem to...

They don't listen either. When Lynn Faulds Wood was appointed to present the consumer program "Watchdog" in place of a male presenter, I politely pointed out that the program name should be more properly changed to "Watchbitch". For some odd reason they preferred not to change it. :( .

Once again an announcement about a hoped for lithium-sulphur battery breakthough. This type holds huge promise for low weight with very high capacity, but with those characteristics have very short life to date. At one time Wisper were hoping to introduce them on their e-bikes. This latest...

No, they did argue with each other at least a couple of times. Also the ban resulted from messages between each other that were disparaging of other members. They both thought they were in a private message area of the forum, but where it was in fact publically viewable. .

The other chap was Indalo, banned at the same time. Here's a thread about that, a 7 page fun read for Friday the 13th. :confused: .

Soon no, it took long into the second page of the thread :). That wasn't deliberate, I've only just looked in. And I don't have a strong opinion about EddieO's bike choices. The one opinion I'll offer is that, like cwah, EddieO was one of this forum's great characters who has been widely...

Not under any circumstances Dave. In 2007 after producing an unpaid justifiably favourable and very extensive review and test of the new Kalkhoff Agattu, it was suggested that I should be given one as a reward for the considerable effort I'd put into that and the benefit it could and did bring...
