There\u2019s a bogus Blogspot using my name. It sells insurance. If you\u2019re using a feed or Googling me, you\u2019re likely to find this somewhere in your searches. No need to visit it as I\u2019m sure it just encourages more bogusness. I\u2019d like to contact Blogger and deal with this, and hopefully eliminate the bogus site. Their help groups are all but incomprehensible, and almost seem designed not to help with a specific issue like this. Frustrating. Question: Anyone know how to contact Blogger directly and ask them how I can blow the whistle on this, and not lose blog traffic to a bogus site? Also, I guess this is as good a time as any to do a quick roll call. I\u2019ve got no idea how many people actually visit this blog. If you\u2019re reading this, feel free to leave a brief hello or wave in the comments, especially since apparently there may be people searching for me and finding a lame insurance-selling phantom zone. Thanks, folks. (And thanks to John at the mighty SF Signal<\/a> for the reminder this morning.)<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
