GOOGLE ERRONEOUSLY DELETES C&H BLOG

To all of those who read this blog from time to time, you may have noticed that we have been missing from the Internet for the past week and a half or so. Apparently, Google which hosts our blog, has automated robots or crawlers of some sort which roam about its blogger universe attempting to delete "spam blogs." In this process however, legitimate blogs are apparently being deleted and then reinstated after a somewhat convoluted process with Google. We have fallen prey to such error.

Thankfully, however, Google was fairly diligent in addressing our request for the blog to be reinstated, yet, the process of reinstatement is not intuitive and you can forget about reaching a customer service rep via phone. The most unnerving aspect of all of this is that we cannot get reassurance from anyone at Google that this will not happen again, and hence, we are looking into other options for the hosting of our blog.

We apologize for our absence.
