Apparently, someone at Microchip watches the forums. I was the culprit who posted Steve Sanghi's email address. Did you know that it is not permitted to post the CEO's email address?

Here's an email I received today from Microchip:

stumichaels,

Since I was already logged in when they banned me, I still have complete access to the Microchip forum. I suppose if I log out, I won't be able to log back in, at least for a week. Not much of a loss.

I started a new thread named Forum Upgrade V2.0 at Microchip now....

Ah, that explains everything. We are all on random indefinite length bans!

Ric,

We'll let you post here at this forum if you promise to behave yourself.

Did not see that, but I have not been that busy the last days.
What is the magic number? 1 or 2?
