I sure do, Peter. I’ve blocked and muted a few who treat Substack like a dating site! Last week, it was that guy who was going to give away $5,000 to his first 2,500 subscribers. I put a warning in the feed for everyone and reported him. He’s gone now.

Trolls and scammers!

These are delightful poems, and so insightful too. You're the new Robert Lewis Stevenson.
