Interesting side note - you can apparently FReepmail someone whose account has been banned. I had sent him one yesterday, not realizing his account status. I just sent another "test" message, and FReepmail doesn't warn you that your "To" is a banned account.
If you guys hear from him, point him at this thread:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1131998/posts We had talked a while back, about him maybe sneaking down to ATL for a LBGA memorial FReeper range trip, and I was pinging him about that thread with the FReepmail. Hopefully he'll still want to associate with us.
Also, in looking at some old FReepmails, I note he had had some minor run-ins with JimRob/the mods about changed headlines in some articles he had posted. I wonder if this was over something of that nature.
I just sent him a hotlinked transcript of this thread from #70 on down, so when he gets it he'll see your alert to that thread.
