Well after nearly 7 years and over 6000 awarded solution, I have finally been declare persona non grata.  What took them so long? :)

Feel free to contact me at acperkins[AT]tutopia[DOT]com however I do not guarantee any response.

Many of you have asked what was the final straw that broke the proverbial camel's back.  This message from Eric speaks volumes as to how volunteers who lend a lot of their time to this site are viewed and I suspect is self-explanatory:

Experts Exchange has implemented systems that remind people of their open questions on a regular basis. Your "reminder" posts are not only unnecessary, but disruptive to threads.

We have asked you on numerous occasions to not post comments regarding members' lists of open questions in threads. You have declined to take our requests seriously. This is no longer a request; it is now in the realm of unacceptable behavior. To be blunt, you're causing us more problems than you are resolving.

I hope the message is clear; if not, you are welcome to write to me and I will spell it out for you.
