Nice.  Speaking of helmet debates, we've not heard from the newly reserected BtBS for a few days.  He didn't push it a bit far again did he?

It might have been the anti-semitism he was barred for, not the anti-helmet rants.

I assumed the mods caught up with him starting up as a new user. I think I mentioned before that one of your posts about cibm/btbs had disappeared. No idea which topic now though !
