Well, I suppose that a manager should know that FBI is limited in its actions to the US territory :))) - after all the 'F' stands for Federal :)). Maybe he meant CIA? :))) [snip] > If anything else significant happens I will be sure to let you know.

I am now considering whether to reply to such a message saying "but > Russell is one of my best users, can you provide proof of him doing something > wrong" or whether I should just say "no I don't think that I will remove my > own account". ;) hahahah :)))) - well, better send him something along these lines: "Thank you for your co-operation. The abusive user has been put in front of the Judge General and found guilty of abusing your patience. The defendant has been sentenced to 5 years of separation from the Internet. We apologise for any harm he might have done to You and Your family and we do hope that no other event of that kind will ever take place. Sincerely...." :)) - now he will be proud that he "forced that sucker off the Internet!!" :)) marek
