What black hole is that?

I added that option not just for you, there are a couple others who drop in to promote things they've done but otherwise don't read or post. Of course being fair, that can happen for a variety of reasons: Time demands of being a professional author; Reputability - because some publishers simply won't trust someone who's on a tiny message board; and legal/promotional issues, where the publisher or agent tells you to keep off the 'net to avoid unnecessary or unflattering exposure.
As for work, I can't do anything about that. I would like to know what brand of firewall software they have so I can contact the vendor and see why my site's on their list. Of course it may just be because your workplace uses a "whitelist" instead, and only allows certain specific authorized sites.
