This thread was flooded with comments by new accounts (and some not-so-new accounts) in ways that show patterns of abuse, so we've banned the accounts. The comments are visible if you have 'showdead' set to 'yes' in your profile, but not otherwise.

If you're one of those users and want to be unbanned, you're welcome to email [email protected]. We're happy to unban users who give us reason to believe they want to use the site as intended.
