Discussion about the Suspension List

I have decided to lift bruski's suspension early. He wrote to me personally expressing regret for getting off to a bad start, which he attributed to not knowing the rules and the general tone of the forum. I think he is sincere, so I lifted his suspension, effective immediately.

So- if a life- suspension member had as verified claim of having been clinicly dead and brought back to life- will that end the suspension? (Yes, I had to ask it- and yes I am being a smart___)

Huzzah, O benevolent one! I am curious to see how this one pans out. Welcome back, bruski.

Kudos to both of you.

He was suspended life for because he resigned. Resignations can be overturned upon request. If Rob Singer ever asks me, I'll lift his suspension.

I miss Jerry Logan.

I think he's back.

Thank you, I appreciate it!

A little about myself, which may shed some better light on the validity of certain comments made towards me in the "Martingale" thread. I am a very casual, unprofessional gambler. I play some poker (2/4, 3/6, 1/2 no limit), craps, and blackjack. Being a casual gambler, I've never really studied any of these "systems", nor worried about something like -EV. Now that I came up with this "system" idea and saw all of the holes blasted in it, I've learned quite a bit in a short amount of time about odds, -EV, etc.

In regards to the comments suggesting that I'm a hopeless "system" believer, that I'm just like all the other "system" people who've come along before, etc... this is about as far from the truth as can possibly be. I'm a pretty decent math guy - probably not near the level of many of you, but no slouch - and I can completely comprehend the data presented. I really appreciated the valid responses to the questions I asked.

The reason I decided to ask to rejoin the forum was because once I resigned, I was amazed at the responses to the original responder. I've been on several forums, and these days it seems that many people like to ridicule, badger or annoy rather than help. When the first response I received was of this nature, I wasn't surprised. But when several people came to the defense of the "ignorant" rather than pile on, I WAS surprised.

So I'm happy to be back, and I'll try to contribute where I can.

Welcome back.

I'll repeat myself: I'm sure you'll be a fine addition to our group. I think the wrong member got banned.

Damn. Here I am thinking your handle is your way of telling everyone that you enjoy beverages from Milwaukee!
