A note to mediators. Since Smatprt is topic-banned, and, almost simultaneously, I will be incommunicado on another continent (as I had said over a month ago before this complication arose), with no computer connections for at least three months, perhaps the remaining editors should drop a note as to their intentions, in order to clarify before the mediators what is to be done at this point.
