-- to point out that Captain Picard's Journal is still offline. (I'd link to it... but it's offline.)
I had a comment over the weekend from the proprietor of said blog who said "Blogger identified my blog as spam and removed it. It will return soon, following a review."
I would point out to Blogger that it once honored Captain Picard's Journal as a "Blog of Note." While that may not be akin to a Pulitzer, it is an honor that has never been bestowed on this blog. And surely this credential should have counted in its favor when Blogger received a challenge concerning same.
This is the second blog that I read regularly to be shutdown for no apparent reason. Dave, the Atlanta-area lawyer who pens Rather Than Working, recently suffered a similar fate.
I look forward to the prompt return of Captain Picard's Journal.

Dave's blog is shut down? When did this happen? I clicked on at his blog after reading your post and I see he has a post up there, written October 2, 2011 -so as of two days ago, it was still available. I read Dave's blog faithfully -via my reader, same as I do yours -and if they did shut it down, it's been really recent but people can still access it and also, like your blog, his is very well-written, quite the correct piece of blogging literature as well as very interesting so I can't imagine why Blogger would even think about shutting him down!
Jeni -- Dave's blog was shut down, but he got it back. That's why I linked to it this morning.
I'm back!
My Journal was restored today. The Blogger robots had decided two weeks ago that it was a spam blog and deleted it. I had to go through an appeal to get it reinstated. They did so today, apologising for any inconvenience caused!
My 1200th post is now showing!
I should have added thanks for your support, Curmy.
