For the first time in PCT-L history, I have exercised my authority as list
admin and have booted a subscriber for unacceptable behavior.

  johnsmallberries <johnsmallberries@hvc.rr.com> has been removed from the
list for his post " FW: [pct-l] Advice sought on lightway trek - um hm"

Calling someone a bunch of profane names is always considered a flame, and
flames are not acceptable on this list.

This episode is also an example of why responding to trolls is always a bad
idea. It was pretty obvious to me where this was going to go from the very
first post, but.... controversy is good for the list: it makes people think.

I hope everyone has a great rest of the day
