The same story with a few forums this morning – accused of spam tactics from places I’ve never been before, or I didn’t receive the confirmation email, or…
the forum (or (URL) doesn’t even exist any more🤦♀️🤷♂️
It’s at time’s like this when you can feel like giving it up as a bad job, isn’t it?

I really thought I was on to something given their reputation, and all the links on the page, and hoped it would be like several other sites I’ve previously discovered in similar circumstances after reaching a dead end in my original search.
It was only when I got to the last headline that I discovered the truth about my new shangri-la, and that might’ve brought me crashing back to to Earth previously, but I had to get this post out tody to maintain my schedule and commitment to readers; and I’ve got to do today’s ezine, so I’ll manage to rescue things a bit then get on with the next scheduled task.
