That I don't know. I do not tell anyone information such as that. I tell
them they need to contact the *individual* directly if they want to know
details of the case.

What I think people were trying to ask was that if you didn't understand
banishment to contact them directly to help the individual to understand.
It is a concept that is easier taught one-on-one since the general
discussion can be tailored to the individual's questions and experience.

Even posting the links to the formal definitions doesn't explain what it
is since it is something that isn't well put down in words. I'm gonna
give it a try though when I've had more sleep.

Ciao,
