This is not an April Fool's joke

I have been receiving warnings, purportedly from Yahoo, about closure of my email account if I did not follow their instructions to furnish personal details similar to those mention below. This latest warning appears to be the final of the finals and this time could be true. So just in case you notice any disruption to my blogsite, it has to do with my loss of the Yahoo email account. I have just added a back-up email account for just in case: kosong1010@gmail.com

Account Will Be Closed
