Those who tried to access the site over the weekend will have encountered errors. For this, I apologize. Unfortunately, I received the following e-mail from Blogger (my site's platform provider) over the weekend:
Hello,
Your blog at: has been identified as a potential spam blog. To correct this, please request a review by filling out the form at xxxxx...We find spam by using an automated classifier. Automatic spam detection is inherently fuzzy, and occasionally a blog like yours is flagged incorrectly. We sincerely apologize for this error. By using this kind of system, however, we can dedicate more storage, bandwidth, and engineering resources to bloggers like you instead of to spammers. For more information, please see Blogger Help: http://help.blogger.com/bin/answer.py?answer=42577
Thank you for your understanding and for your help with our spam-fighting efforts.
Sincerely,
The Blogger Team

Please bear with me during this process as I work to get the blog back online. For now, I've made http://www.barelkarsan.com point to this temporary location so that I can provide updates. But the links at the top of the page (e.g. "Stock Ideas", "Book Summaries") aren't there, and many of the links within articles are broken links, and will continue to be so long as the real blog stays down.
Hopefully Blogger is true to their word, and things will be back to normal after two business days. In the meantime, I'll investigate other platforms (including WordPress, which is a platform to which a lot of former Blogspot users have moved). If you have any insight or suggestions on this issue, I'd be happy to hear them in the comments section!
In the meantime, thank you for your patience and thanks for bearing with me! Hopefully things will be back to normal soon!
