Seems like if you are two different people then you're on the same ISP. Either way, I don't care. So you've lost your old username cos it's been banned, and you've lost the 156 or so posts. Sign up with a new account and put some effort into your posts and you might actually get validated. (Hint I don't validate anyone who can't put a capital letter at the beginning of a sentence.) If you didn't manage to get validated in 156 posts then I'd be looking carefully at what other people who do get validated quickly have been doing different. In summary, you have two choices: 1. Carry on the bitch fest and I'll go back through the thread and warn everyone who deserves a warning for breaking the guidelines, especially people who continue to reply to this topic without good reason. 2. You go and put some effort into your posts (sign up for a new account if you like so there's no stigma attached to your name) and all being well, we'll all live happily ever after. Jon
