I'm a little late, but for the record, I'd object to banning Andy as well.

I've been on lists where disruptive people had to be banned, but in
this case Andy is both well-intentioned and often (*cough* choking
this one out, hard to form the words) has good points.

And let's face it, compared to historical norms on, say, Usenet, Andy
doesn't even rank.

A small group of like-minded individuals with a common background
who know each other personally is easy to organize. This was that,
but it ain't no more. All for the good if it's recognized and adapted to,
unfortunate otherwise. Enough of that, though.

Peace.
