Blog being held hostage by Blogger!

Since, January 9th, my blog has been locked by one of Blogger’s robots for having “spam-like” characteristics.  Without giving any warning, my blog was locked down pending human review.  It’s been nearly a week later and I’m still waiting for some humans to show up and review my blog.

There’s no doubt that spam’s a problem and that blog spam is proliferating, but Blogger’s procedures are extremely draconian.  I should have received a warning and given the opportunity to challenge.  But, Blogger just unilaterally shut my site down.

Anyways, this is my first entry on my new Movable Type powered blog.  It’s kind of plain around here, but I think it’ll give me more flexibility than Blogger in the long run.
