Today I received a reply: It looks like during one of our recent attempts to combat spam and advertisers on the site, your account was inadvertently caught up in one of our searches.
I restored your account and was unable to find a specific reason that would have deemed it to be spam related.


It's a shame it cost me a couple of sleepless nights and many hours updating my blog.
Chrissy, I'm sorry you have to go through that.

Do you have the Pro account? If yes, maybe ask them to give you some discount for their oversight?
Thank you for your comments Will. Sadly, not as sorry as I am. I don't have a Pro account although I've been a "trusted" member since 2002 and I was always Pro during the time Yahoo owned it because they owned BT until Smugmug bought it out. But I've never paid. As they are giving it to me for free, I can't really complain.
