Jun-18-06    Karpova: WMD: <I'm not sure when my posting ban here was lifted.> Why did you get banned? I noticed your absence but didn't know you were banned. Jun-18-06    WMD: Can't exactly recall the offending remark but it had something to do with John Donaldson, Ray Keene and the subject of plagiarism. So it goes.
