short note: I received a ban from the forum about a month back. I realised I missed the banter here, plus interacting with Manly fans so I contacted Dan, who explained that I need to watch that my passionate support doesn't spill over into attacking or abusing the moderators here. so the ban has been lifted. I would never set out to abuse anyone, with intent. Dan also pointed out that the mods job is tricky and it impacts their enjoyment of this forum which I hadn't really thought of. so its good to be back and please let the off season end. that's a large part of my problem.
