Oh dear, seems there isn't a rush to try and dissaude you from your
voluntary banishment.    I guess its hard to type with all fingers and toes
crossed :-).

Seriously though, despite the deafening silence on this group to dissuade
you from this action, I for one (and I am *really* sure that I am not alone
in this) would ask you not to do this.   I don't agree with your opinions
most of the time (now there's a bulletin) but I support your right to
express them.    You are quite right that humour is different in different
places, that's why it is useful to add a smiley face at the end.   Also I
don't know if you are aware of this, but using uppercase in posts is the
email equivalent of SHOUTING 6" from someones ear.  I am sure that is not
something that you would like people to think you are intending.   Perhaps
the using standard asterisks at either end for *emphasis* that I am sure you
are aware of might be more suitable.

Anyway, I look forward to your continued input (as I have said many times
before) although it may be helpful to appreciate that we are all aware of
your CW skills and the size of your installation - well done !!!    However
excessive repetition of this serves to lessen the regard for those
achievements.    We could all benefit from your sharp and active mind
instead being applied to the advancement of our necessarily technological
hobby as well as the modes which are the most appropriate for the narrowest
allocation of any Ham band.
