I'm Back!

Dearest readers, it seems that since Sunday my blog was locked out by Blogger because it "has been identified as a potential spam blog." So what does that mean? How was my blog singled out? In their own words...

"We find spam by using an automated classifier. Automatic spam detection is inherently fuzzy, and occasionally a blog like yours is flagged incorrectly. We sincerely apologize for this error. By using this kind of system, however, we can dedicate more storage, bandwidth, and engineering resources to bloggers like you instead of to spammers. For more information, please see Blogger Help: http://help.blogger.com/bin/answer.py?answer=42577"

At any rate, it's good to be back and remember, only you can prevent spam.

  1. And about time too! I have to say, however that Google's apology is pretty mealy-mouthed--and self-serving. They make no note of how subversive this site actually is, nor do they seem to fully appreciate how much some of us relished your being tagged as "inappropriate"! I think you should publicize this matter on your next church sign.

  2. I'll have to agree with Mr. Heartbreak here... Inappropriate is as inappropriate does...
