either it is a temporary ban, or he banned himself using a "secret question". Then there is a question on the second option, if he banned himself, why didn't he remove the signature?
There's a third option:
Lauda is banned in the same way as satoshi, such that it isn't possible to even log into the account anymore.
Phew!
I don't think Symmetrick Ratimov deserves such attention from theymos. You are telling he stands on the same high as Satoshi and Lauda? No way!
Xal0lex, what's that with this "Ratimov hatter" statement. Are you still soft for Ratimov even after all these? My man!
