For what it's worth, he's right - you're not addressing the point,  
which is that it's not until you hit edit this page and get the "you  
have been blocked message" (which also renews your block) that you'd  
find out you've been blocked in the first place. Since being blocked  
doesn't send a "You have a message" link or e-mail you or anything.

Concientious admins tend to either leave a message about the block or  
remove the second autoblock when it happens, in practice.
