Eh? I've only ever had one before: the test one in September 2025. My phone keeps a history of them and there are but two entries - then, and today.

Have we reached the "I was talking to an acquaintance of mine in Dagestan recently - lovely person, profoundly wise for an inhabitant of that part of the world - about one of my patents and ... [continues]" stage of this argument yet? Tom
