Percy,
I don't know what post of Brian's caused the problem. Not having access to his knowledge of Bibical and near Eastern archeology will make this site a lot less interesting to me, so I'm hoping a solution can be worked out, and worked out soon.
I don't see a need for Brian to be an admin but I do wish he could contribute his knowledge to threads that are often dominated by fundamentalists who at best use limited and poor sources such as the Bible in translation and a few websites to make dubious historical claims. Brian does a well annotated job of arguing the current archeological evidence.
