For most of the 17 years that I have published this journal it was administered by Blogger, a service of Google. All of a sudden, this morning I received the following email stating Bruce's Journal is being suspended.
Hello, As you may know, our Community Guidelines (https://blogger.com/go/contentpolicy) describe the boundaries for what we allow-- and don't allow-- on Blogger.

I certainly did not spam anyone with my journal. I do receive hits from France and Russia that are likely from robots, but I did not initiate any spam. I do post most of my journal entries on Facebook, but that is not spam.
I did click on the link and within minutes received the following reply:
Hello, We have re-evaluated your blog against Blogger Community Guidelines https://blogger.com/go/contentpolicy. Upon review, the blog has been reinstated. You may access the blog at http://www.bruceslutsky.com/. Thank you for understanding. Sincerely, The Blogger Team.
I guess all's well that ends well. Perhaps they wanted to see that I was not a robot.
