Dubai Entrepreneur said...: Great! Thank you sam. Your work is very much appreciated. Keeping this thing together is a lot more work than many can appreciate.

As for moving/migrating the blog to other platforms, it was just something to keep as an alternative. I may disagree with you on the weight you put on the blog's controversy. However, quick results in Google searches for up-to-date posts is an excellent reason to exhaust all options before coming to that.

Once again, thanks!; 02 May, 2008 00:41

samuraisam said...: stained: No idea; it's possible someone reported the blog for spam, but its more than likely it was just mistakenly picked out by google's automated system.; 02 May, 2008 11:34
nzm said...: If a blog gets flagged for objectionable content, the message received by the blog owner is different to what was received in this instance.

I remember Balushi publishing the email that he received from Blogger when his blog was flagged!; 02 May, 2008 12:47
