This blog is a random collection of information, partly in support of my quotations web site. Other topics include wine, military news, economics, history, libertarianism, and other random things which happen to strike my fancy. Backup site is at http://quotulatiousness.blogspot.com/ (if there are no posts showing, hit the backup blog for explanation). Comments have been turned off, as the spam was getting too much to handle. Comments can be emailed to me for posting.

False alarm about free speech suppression on Blogger and Blogspot

There was much consternation yesterday when several prominent blogs were all flagged as being in violation of Blogger's terms of service and locked (with a 20-day termination notice). Castle Argghhh! was monitoring the situation, and offered sanctuary to many of the bloggers who'd been suddenly deprived of their blogs.

I have a blog over there (http://quotulatiousness.blogspot.com/, my emergency backup blog), but as I only post there when there are problems here on the main blog, I don't know if mine was one of the locked blogs . . . because Google (who own Blogger and Blogspot) quickly unlocked the blogs for their owners and sent a letter of apology with an explanation of the problem.
