At a crossroads. After a calm weekend the relentless pageviews from a server in Vietnam are back in full force. I'm not particularly happy...

 


I've reverted all 6100+ posts to "draft" mode and am leaving up this one, the very first one, and yesterday's, and that's about it. No one has been invited or disinvited from the site. If you are a regular reader you've probably read most of the stuff you wanted to read. 

I'm leaving these three up to see what happens with the relentless page view attacks but I'm pessimistic. I am loathe to post more if the content is just used to perpetrate some nefarious scheme or fraud. We've had over 100,000 pageviews from one server in Vietnam just this morning. Not good. 

You've all been mostly very nice to drop by, read and comment. There may come a time when Google resolves the issues I'm dealing with here but since Blogger is a free service they offer I don't think VSL is a high priority for them. Especially as the blog is not enrolled in Adsense or any other profit generating feature. 

For the time being you'll need to read a different blog to find out someone's opinions about photography.  Comments are still open but will be tightly moderated for the time being...

If you have a question I'm not that hard to find. Leave a ??? in the comments. But no! No one is getting any special access treatment. We are not a rock concert. There is no back stage pass. No VIP section.

Sad that the 16 years of blogging here seems to have come to a halt because of events beyond my control.  

Bye.
