you're right kanga...i also know Hiwa and is a really good guy, sharing alot about overclock like few others do...that's however a shame seeing that he broke the rules..i still think that is a good guy, but he deserve some kind of punishment for his acts...i think that a 1 year ban from hwbot for him is something right..a lifetime ban will be too much i think...when he'll returns he'll have to prove again that is one of the best clockers around and that is a man who follow the rules..and i think he can do this.
