O.k.    I decided to take some advice from 686f646c (as cautioned above), and I moved 9 BTC from BTC e to a Blockchain.info wallet.    It took me nearly a week to accomplish this BTC movement b/c there were technical SNAFUs with my e-mail confirmations to BTC e.  I thought that I had confirmed with BTC e via e-mail, and then after three days, my BTC were still in the transfer section of the BTC e fund.  Thereafter, I submitted a ticket and got some weird-ass quasi non-responsive e-mails from BTC e support, which made me suspect that the BTC e support English skills are NOT too good.   

I then presented my issue in the BTC e troll box, and a couple responders reminded me to make sure that I adequately went through the e-mail confirmation process, which assisted me to identify the problem was that I had NOT properly confirmed. 

Anyhow, now I am fixed, and I have removed 9 BTC from BTC e, and put those 9 BTC into a blockchain wallet.... which also caused me concern, yesterday, when blockchain.info was down for quite a long time (more than 10 hours?)
