not punish people for openly noticing their weaknesses.

Thanks! Yes, that's a good point. On the other hand, willingness to confront problem users is one of the absolute minimum requirements for a forum moderator. I suppose Kaj was not expected to do the moderator's job, probably just behind-the-scene maintenance, and I assumed too much. Sorry, Kaj!

That said, a competent active forum moderator is required to deal with this particular issue, and I am yet to see one here.
