After I wrote the entry below, the freeze on the blog was lifted. Cant be too careful, I guess. But in the interum our fine friends in ... where ever they are... had fallen silent. No surprise, I guess. I hope they find a better way to support their families, gotta be tough in Nigeria these days! All the best to you, and them, and to you if you are them! We ARE all one, remember?

Im new to blogging, so maybe Im not aware of something important here. If so, I apologize! My new blog is suspended, and if I have violated the rules or been misleading (I suspect that IS the complaint) then Im perfectly willing to end it - dont want to cause harm for sure. I am posting here due to my inability to find a way to talk with blogger, hoping that asking for review and this post will do for "dialogue".
I got an email, obvious phishing with all the trappings: promise of big money from the IMF/World Bank (with incorrect use of numerals making it unclear HOW big), gotta pay up front – or else travel to W Africa to collect, slight alteration of the name of a prominent individual, imaginary threat of usurpation of identity/funds by a third party.
I found it all relatively amusing and thought: "Ill respond, and post the thread on a blog - expose the hoax and have a little harmless fun for all." If thats not so fun, or dangerous to someone, Im sorry - please take it down.
Sincerely,
Dexter Payne
