Just 3 days ago we were banned from all FTP/telnet/talk activity.

Eeek. Without wishing to speak for Bob, I know for a fact that he didn't jump at the chance to moderate. There was a search conducted to try and find someone willing and able, and when no one was found, Bob was almost "pushed" into it. Even then he had to think through the feasability (sp). Big sigs are one thing, but that above comment is another. Row.
