I am not suggesting for one second the Admin on OFF would do such a thing though. My family just think I am crazy to waste my time posting on forums.
It is good to remember that if something on the internet is free then you are a product not a customer. Email addresses are easy to change and/or abandon, unwanted emails are easy to block or delete.
As for time wasting? What else would you be doing with your time especially during a pandemic? I doubt anyone could spend even 10 minutes a day on here without getting some pleasure from it. Some people spend that long cleaning their windows, now that to me is a waste of time, horses for courses

Everyone has their own personal reason for being here (you included), and it is not up to you to judge, Tarantula.
If anyone needs a bit of company, then good luck to them, at least they are making an effort to be sociable.
I notice you are on here several times a day too, so one can only assume you ' have nothing to do' quite often, so I suggest you don't knock others for doing the same.
