When I started web hosting many years ago, I had to battle spam for other people for the first time. No longer did I have time to write to every ISP, trace every IP address, send nasty-grams, and get lots of confirmations back from sysadmins ...

I’m quite speechless at the moment.
It would appear that Google felt that by having the users of my site, as well as myself, click on the occasional ad on my Google Ads areas of my web site has somehow triggered a fraudulent flag on me and I’ve been shut down.

Update 2017: I registered this domain name in August 2000 and launched the first version of the site as a musician working on a demo recording of Christian-themed songs. I’ve obviously departed from that original goal along the way, taking most of my music offline by 2004 and started focusing more on my tech career.
I still hold true to my beliefs, and will have a discussion with anyone who wants genuine conversation about my journey into faith in God, both the ups and downs.
