Removal of a DD should only be a last resort for damaging behaviour. Efforts must be taken first to try and repair any damage by normal means: negotiating an apology and/or promises of better future behaviour. Only after repeated trouble should the expulsion process even be considered. I'd be prepared to start or support the official process of expulsion if I believed it to be necessary, but that does not need any special DPL powers. -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK. steve@einval.com "I suspect most samba developers are already technically insane...
