Thank you for the explanation, Richie. I made no assumptions and could only respond on the basis of what I read in that terse exchange with Carmelo. As you say yourself, there are 'many things that a lot of your guys probably dont even see', so I don't think I could have been aware of your specific warnings to newbies about spamming which (it seems) Carmelo ignored rather more blatantly than the exchange suggested. Fair enough - but if you had explained that there a little more clearly for everyone's benefit, I would not have raised the issue.

This procedural action may be cited in future as an application of the rule in Richie v. Carmelo!

No, jmc, I certainly don't want spamming or similar activity and I agree that any advertising does indeed belong elsewhere than in the 'hellos'. But when I see a newcomer summarily banned there for what seemed merely to be a mistake on his part, I am concerned. I now see that the concern was misplaced but I'm sure you can see why I in turn was misled.

Let's leave it there, and hope that everyone now has a better understanding of what happened and why.
