That's true of the majority of the people who've been banned. They don't deserve any greeting, hell, it may be true of all of them. But I almost miss reading countless flames of some of the less liked members, instead of the complaints about APs that have taken their place. Of course, I don't really agree with saying hello to anyone in a big public thread. It seems to me that the people you want to thank merit some APs or PMs or you could talk to them in the forums. I don't like these threads that seem to say, "Look who I'm friends with, and who you're not!"
