Hi all.

Ok, understood, will not post "URLs only" in the future ;)

What is still strange 2 me... the forum was reachable for days 
after my mentioned post... AND I was banned then from home and 
also from our company networks, even after removing the cookies...

Nevertheless, let's say, the "banning" works pretty well, once 
someone decided to do it, but a little hint whom to contact to 
get un-banned in case of mis-banning would be helpful ;)

Thanks again
