This is the residual affect, somehow, I think, when your account got wonked by the site. This is a Brock issue ... one I think he is aware of. When I noticed your absense, I saw that your account had been banned. No one did anything to make this happen, and I'm not even sure Brock figured out why or how, but was able to unban the account and contact your via email. Somehow your ability to PM got wonked in the process. Sorry. Hopefully Brock can get it resolved.
