I just logged on after a long day of drinking at work, and found a line through Wolram's name. Whahappen...?

You know we cannot discuss specific issues regarding a member.

All I can say is wait a couple of days.

Zz.

Yeah, I know; I was just concerned for his health. Sorry.
 
I trust we're allowed to start a welcome back thread upon his return?

Certainly.
 
A huge thread with lot's of horns and bells.
 
I hope he comes back.

Sometimes temporary, sometimes permanent.

Poor woolie. I too hope he returns.

Me, too.

I worry when people fall off the face of the earth. It's kind of vexing.

What the hell did he do to get banned, he always seemed very pleasant, one who wouldn't get himself banned.

These things are handled in private as was stated earlier so unless wolram tells us, you'll never know.

I wonder if that's the best policy. People used to disappear without a trace in the worst dictator regimes like Argentine in the 80s. A free democracy is also about a frank and open justice system.

He's not disappearing without a trace and will be back very soon. We consider it the best policy because it's really nobody's business but his as to why he was banned...we don't believe in public floggings for every misdeed here.

I'm sure he'll be grateful that he's been missed while away. At this point, I don't think it will do any good to continue speculating about his absence, so I'm going to lock this thread. Feel free to give him a hearty welcome upon his return.
