    A user came to boards trying to recover lost data. I suggested he seek expert advice:

    Don't ask people here. Go to an Apple support forum and find out where the data is stored, make a back up of that and then seek to resolve the issue."
    I suggested this because the OP as lost vital information from Entourage and runs the risk of overwriting it. They could do this by following the advice of anybody, either here or anywhere else. So, I suggest that the OP follow expert advice on the matter. Similar to when you lose a contact lens - you stop moving your feet before any damage is done.

    This got me an infraction. Why? I have no idea.

    According to babypink:

    Rash infraction, Ok, I can live with that.

    Then I get a permanent ban. Why?

    You breachced the rule of common sense, you are in my opinion trying to undermine the advice of the mods and other contributors and its not the first time. How can you possibly think that you are hiding behind "good advice"?

    I somehow got a permanent ban for something that I got a rash infraction for.

    Surely this is unreasonable?

    If this was an isolated incident I would agree with you, but as we both know it is not.

    Consider your previous siteban reinstated.
