Sidebar on a matter of bloggery:
It appears as though at least my blog dashboard was hacked soon after I published this
post. I noticed that links were added where there had been none and those links lead to some pages from "behind the scenes" blogspot.
On the same day, I received a suspicious phone call from someone claiming to call from California, from this number:
253-802-0308.
I have no idea whether the two events are related to one another or just an unhappy coincidence.
Checking my StatCounter, I found this somewhat frenzied activity taking place:

| It is my custom to publicize any unusual occurrences that take place in and/or around my blog. If anybody has a plausible explanation or speculation about what all this means, I'd be very grateful for his or her contribution.
Let me remind you that a few weeks ago my blog was shut down for a period of over a week due to some complaint lodged against it by some readers. The only explanation I got was that there was some malware in one of the Contentious Centrist posts and once removed by Blogspot's technicians, my blog was re-instated.
So it is all a big mystery to me. It might have a perfectly innocent explanation but then again, it might have a perfect explanation that is not so innocent.

By definition, the owner of a blog will have the email addresses of those posting comments. If you need support from readers/commenters in future, please call on me.
I'm sure Snoopy would do the same!
