I was never banned allen, just so you know.  I also posted that coming to the board the way I did had a lot to do with the confusion surrounding some of my posts, and I think sincerely posted the regret I had over that.  I know a few people here that have given me another chance, but I think I sufficiently pissed off enough people that I'm not really trusted.  

All I can say is that in my case for now, it's more comfortable reading than posting, because I lot of people I would like to interact with I think have dismissed me, but I'm willing to share some blame in that.  I actually wanted to ask a question about the private funding, in that I already thought it was funded, but I just ask the members privately that seem to have understood where I was coming from.  Anyway, I just wanted to post on this because I thought it was right for you to know that I was questioned but not censored, for what it's worth.
