Does anyone know what's happened to Don Mitchell? His contributions to this forum, especially on the subject of Soviet unmanned exploration, were particularly fascinating.

Was he banned, or did he ask to have his account terminated?

Ian.

No complaints here, Doug. You and the administrators keep this place tip top, and the fact that most of us are unaware that some members are a bit kooky only shows how well you have this place tied down. We the uninformed have the luxury of missing “insightful contributor X” after he/she has been dismissed, but unchecked kooks can drive others away and UMSF is too nice of a forum for that. I support your policy and decision.
