All said check back after beard has grown 6 additional inches. I have no idea if you will ever be un-banned, but it certainly not going to happen in 2014. I doubt seriously it will happen in 2015. You do realize that most of the kernel devs do it both for a living and out of sheer love of the work. Your participation the last few months impacted both in a negative way. I've never heard of anyone being banned before, so you are novel. None of us how long the blackball will stay in place, maybe forever. Greg -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail.
