thanks everyone. i was not exactly worried about the 1 infraction i was just surprised that i got it at all. im a warrior also, and over their (for example) if you tried say...making a "for sale offer" in the main discussion part instead of in the wso area (where it belongs) you would expect to see an email or pm if your smart. my post was exactly the oposite on dp. it was a question not a :buy my junk kind of thing. it was kind of upsetting since it would seem like they are the opposite things. someone recommended sending an email...i did that as soon as i got the infraction and didnt hear back at all so i guess that doesnt work. btw....i think i will be pm'ing the above who mentioned help with the blog problem. thanks everyone.
