Did Lauda in fact erase all avenues of coming back?  I haven't read through that entire "Goodbye World" thread, but perhaps I should. 

It's sad to see you go. Although there were various small bits of drama and conflict, you've been one of the most active and dedicated members of the community over the course of several years. (And if there's no conflict, then probably nothing is actually being accomplished.) I hope that you're not in any actual danger, and I hope that you will be successful in whatever you choose for your future.


Done. Lauda is banned in the same way as satoshi, such that it isn't possible to even log into the account anymore.
