    If Packard should ever be banned it will result in a disruption to the space-time continuum so severe that the year 2113 and all that follows will be wiped out of existence, maybe even all that came before as well. If you get any answer at all to your question, it must therefore be "no." In fact, banning Packard is probably what Douglas Adams had in mind when he wrote the end to Mostly Harmless.

    No. @Packard had his consciousness absorbed by the board software in 2068.

    I actually have that done once a year. A tiresome procedure, but it does wonders for my teint.

    I'm not going to lie, I read that as "wonders for my taint," and have proceeded to draw hundreds of ill-informed conclusions from that understanding.

    I don't know about @Packard , but I was banned after the Great Wordforge De-Pantsing of 2091. You guys got what you deserved, as far as I'm concerned. The security flaw in early Epson replicators that allows a remote user to disintegrate nearby objects was well-documented, and I warned you. But no, you cheap bastards couldn't be bothered to spend the extra 200 credits and upgrade to a decent model. Anyway, I stand by my decision. I mean, I will have stood by... fucking time travel grammar!

    I have to apologize for my short live coupe of 2045 and I hope that the free meds alleviate any neurosis that came from that unfortunate event.

    Your coup was short lived because I was just using you as a distraction as I drained money out of most major banks, which was sadly detected sooner than I expected.

    Yes, as does everyone else, which means we must completely change our attack strategy because the future is unwritten.

    Stephen Moffat called. He wants the the 75th Anniversary Doctor Who script back.
