The frustration is that I can see posts that I could comment on and
help people with following what I've found today, but I can't because
I've been banned for 21 hours - for what? Being too enthusiastic and
trying to get to grips with the system in the disgustingly short
timescale we've been given; trying to sort out the issues even though
we were told it just works and that it's an oven-ready, pain-free
solution.

20 years of helping people with Evolution and I've been told to sit
down at the back of the class because I'm making too much noise.

The first day of using this thing does not appear to have been an
overwhelming success. For anyone.

I may, or may not, return after being released from the sin-bin.
