Thanks Blogspot, but don't let it happen again!

In the begining, I must apologize for my blog visitors whom I always waste their time in navigating my blog without any new update since 18 may!!
However, I hope they excuse me because of my evil study which SOAKED me in the depth of exam's hell for about one month, even I don't check my mail except every 5 or 6 days!
But I promise that as soon as I pass my hell exams at 26 June there will be new topics published weekly if Allah wills.

Then coming to what happened to my dear blog in the last week!
First of all, I received a telephone call from Abd-elrahman mansour (who always disturbs me with his calls and talks about last news while I'm studying!) telling me that he tried to log into my blog but he couldn't open it!

I was studying Pediatrics so I didn't think about the matter a lot; I said to myself "hey, it's just Abdo with his foolishness!!"
But on the last Wednesday, I logged into the net to get some stuff related to the exams, and I was shocked when I just had tried to take a look on my blog but there was a totally different blog with an idiot appearance, different little content and another owner but the same URL!!

The first idea came to my mind was that my password was stolen or perhaps my blog was hacked by the security authorities!

Then, I realized – logging on my dashboard – that the password has not been stolen and there's just been a very strange problem!
My blog was reported as a spam, and thus they removed it!! I couldn't imagine what easy it was, just an idiot clicking on "report as spam" then they believed him and removed my (72 spams)!!

There was a button "restore access to blog" which I clicked behind astonished imprisoned tears, It told me that they will check the problem in a business of day.

When I came back from my exam, I opened my email and they left me a a reply apologizing and giving my blog back but on different URL!!! Which was tark3atkeyboard8.blogspot.com!

Then, I was thinking to give up and change my URL into ( ganobi ) or ( saba7watan ) or something but I decided not to do that until I see if I can restore my original URL!

I sent to the support describing the problem and thanks Allah they did it!
When I searched for the resolve of that problem I found a lot of people facing the same idiot thing.

Generally, thanks Google for your big universal services, but please don't let it happen again!

I make sure now of the big difference between E-journalism and newspaper!

Lastly, do you think it was just an idiot fooling with me, or it was the internet investigation department in state security trying to annoy the Egyptian bloggers instead of taking them into jail?! (what a romantic regimn!)
