@ James Ogozaly - many thanks for taking the time to reply. So, it's not only me then whose REAL name seems to offend MSN!!! It would be nice if they could explain how someone's REAL name can be against guidelines, when I see some of the user names being used!!
Like you, I too would like to actually see MSN do what they have said they would and reverse their ludicrous idea, and also like you I too would like to continue to comment on issues. Makes you wonder why they have set up the comments facility if those of us who use their REAL names are not allowed to post...... Hope you get your "block" sorted very soon.
