I am compelled, dear Chakotay, to confess my bafflement at your
predicament. If, indeed, Astraweb has cancelled your account, how is
it then possible that you continue to post using Astraweb? Secondly,
if indeed Astraweb believed your "Indian Boys" series (and they are
Thai, not Indian) then why have they not removed the images from their
servers? Now I will be the first to admit that I am shockingly
illiterate regarding computers and all that, so if you could please
explain, I would very much appreciate it.
In regards to the email in question, which I have not personally seen,
if it contains gross errors in English usage and spelling, it is most
probably a fake meant to rattle you. A certain sign of phishing is
when you receive a message from what might appear a legitimate souce,
such as your credit card company, the message has one or more blatant
errors. "Sight" is most definitely an incorrect spelling of "cite",
which any professional English-speaking individual would immediately
recognise.
In other words, to paraphrase the famous Edward G. Robinson, "I smell
a rat."
Have a very pleasant evening.
Sincerely,
HMS Victor
