A quick note to all posters

We’ve been forced to add a spam filter in the last few days as we’ve been bombarded. I’m sure you can probably work out which title triggered it and my suggestion to Google with caution proved prescient. It might mean that some legitimate posts will get snaffled up, but I will try and keep on top of it and promote anything genuine  onto the site. It should learn as I do so, although I can’t promise. Apologies if you get caught, but i’m sure it will be better in the long run.
