I think Shawn has shown here what he is capable of doing.  Obviously in a
moderated group he does behave himself.  I am sure that were he to pull the
same stuff he pulls here in a moderated group he would be long gone.

However a member of astromart has greater responsiblities and liabilities than
membership in a Yahoo group, a membership gains one entry into the marketplace.
 The stakes are considerably higher and other people's money is at risk.

The guy has shown himself to be capable of rude, crude and devious behavior.   

So you can say what you want, but keeping Shawn out of Astromart implies basic
good sense.  

I am glad you are able to moderate him, maybe he will realize acting in a
mature responsible manner has its benefits.
