I have been banned for 3 months. The reason: " Repeat arguing".
Sounds kind of strange, because the whole purpose of the Forum is finding the truth and it requires arguments .
But be that as it may, I got a lot of free time on my hands and was able to use it productively: finished several papers from the lowest drawer, together with a friend of mine from Moscow completed editing the first decent book on pituitary diseases in Russian and bought several nice swords: old Yemeni one ( it ain't no Bukharan!) and a likely Yemeni shashka-like saber ( as per 2nd edition of Gracie's book), a couple of old Uzbek ( well, kind of) daggers, a circa 18th century Polish karabela and a Polish-Lithuanian Tatar saber.
Will post them gradually for general discussion and ... argumentation:-), Everybody is invited.
Also, found a good groomer for our geriatric mini-schnauzer, mastered several Georgian ( Tbilisi, not Atlanta!) dishes and started moving my library and all swords down to the walk-out basement.
Not bad for an old geezer!

Welcome back. I always enjoy a little bit of "hot sauce," to improve things.

Good to see you back Ariel, and look forward to seeing your new toys soon.

BTW, the second edition of Gracie's book contains " new acquisitions": spears, swords etc. This is very valuable, but the quality of printing is vastly inferior to the 1st edition.
Still, for a $30 book it is a steal.
