Unfortunately, it is a bolted door … but there’s a bit of a gap through which a tiny fraction of the spam gets through. The attack has been relentless (not just our site) for a long time and if you could see inside our filter, you would see hundreds of these “messages” stopped at any given time … but a few get through. Still working on that but it ain’t easy. So we appreciate the notifications and we head in to bulk-delete when needed. It seems they are as omniscient as Santa – they know when we are sleeping, they know when we’re awake, they know when I leave the keyboard for 15 minutes to go check on a story, and they attack then for goodness’ sake …
I remembering you mentioning some time back that there is maybe one hour a day when both you and Patrick have a little (but not total—since the phone is always monitored) downtime at the same time.
