 You know, Dennis, one of the big problems FIG has had in the past few 
 years has been exactly this - a great desire for secrecy, protected by 
 self-generated rules demanding it.  For example, where the h*** is the 
 financial report I first asked for over a year ago?  Still being debated
 in secret, while the star chamber decides upon a suitable "format."  
 Same for this case, I fear.  So JAX is smartass with a mouth as big as 
 the great outdoors.  We all knew this within the first 15 seconds of his
 first appearance on ForthNET!  Should this be a surprise to FIG?  So 
 what did he do?  Surely it couldn't have been any more heinous than we'd
 expect of a Member of Congress, or perhaps a Mayor of a national 
 capital?  And we can surely read about them...
