@DennisUK I've had dozens of silent spam phone calls of late, many seemingly linked to subscriptions for your publications when I look up the numbers. Are you aware of this? How can I get off your marketing lists?
A really nicely written guide to accessible social media, well worth a read and very handy to point people to! Great work.
