What name did you try to register as? I didn't see a sycamorelaughing in the user list.

Mea culpa. I didn't have a webmaster alias setup. It'll work now.

Mike is indeed banned. It just got to the point of absurdity with his name calling spew.

Combine that with the threats he sent me in email and it told me he needed a timeout.
