Hmm.. I'm just now reading this thread (the whole thing at once) and a
few things strike me.  1) she is removed for sending too many innane
posts, so 2 people (who shall remain nameless) respond to this thread
with 5+ messages of their own, most of which are post-by-post responses
to other messages and 2) if you want her back on, make it a private
conversation with the ML maintainer, since it's the only way for her to
actually come back.  I'd advise that she e-mail him privately and
appologize, as well.

I'm having real trouble keeping up with this list lately, and it's
because of massive sets of replyies to all the messages in a thread. 
Most of the time we can do without having a lot of quoted text (I really
mean it, edit the stuff, PLEASE).  A snippet of the previous post is
usually all you need.  Usually one paragraph gets the job done, two or
three if they are really short.

Also on the issue of this ML and off topic posts.  There are two kinds
of off topic, off topic that arises when a conversation takes a twist
and off topic that comes out of the blue.  If the aforementioned post
about her religion was of no relation to the conversation going on (or
it was just an announcement, some people are strange like that) then it
definitely qualifies as something to be surpressed.

Geeze, and here I go and slow down some other poor ML reader by typing
all of this when I should really be doing a research paper. 
ARRRGGGHHH!!!

Oh, I can mention some on topic stuff, too!  I finally saw the last tape
of Tenchi Universe and I think that it's fairly decent work.  Still
nothing compared to the OAVs, but it's well done (though I hate the
comercial break animation when it cuts into a dramatic moment).  What I
really want to know is why Ken-oh-ki is capable of such mass
destruction? Ryo-oh-ki is either a lot weaker/less skilled than him or
he just got caught up in the plot and gained super power from it.
