I'm back!
Wes and Char, I'm at least as puzzled as are you. Yesterday, I posted a reply to Char's welcome and to thank her (and Wes) for the terrific photos from the Wheeling concert. I checked back shortly thereafter and I was stunned (to put it mildly) to see a screen bearing a very curt message informing me that I was summarily banned from the forum and that I could never rejoin.
I was absolutely flummoxed. I couldn't imagine what I might have said to offend anyone. I sent a message to the webmaster, and I emailed an inquiry as a reply to the "welcome" email I received immediately upon joining the forum. I have to say that I now know the sting of rejection. Oh, the humanity! I suffered the torment for about a half hour, after which time I calmed myself down and finally opened my mind to the possibility that it might all be a mistake.
I told my boss about it this morning. I decided to try to log in again from work. Wouldn't you know it? I was resurrected! All of my posts magically reappeared (including the duplicate post, which I proceeded to delete again).
So, you might be right, John. It must have something to do with the goblins getting a head start on their Halloween mischief-making!
Anyway, I'm so relieved! Yesterday, it was as if I were back in middle school (although, in my day, we called it junior high).
So, all is well. Thanks to you in particular, John, for giving this so much of your time and thought.
Now, I have to get back to work! Have a wonderful week, all.
