Yes.

I thought it was a DOS attack, (Denial of service), but it wasn't.

Then I thought TS was being swamped by spiders and bots, (by now Mart is probably twitching), but it wasn't.

So, 'It must be the bloody Chinese again', I thought, (TS repelled over 7,000 hacking attempts last month), but it wasn't.

So what was it?

I'd tell you now, but as I'm told Rodders might be going away again this afternoon and, as I have no real desire to stress him before he goes, it can wait until Monday.  :santa_smiley:

Geoff, you tease!

That's like the teacher telling the boy on Friday that he's going to cane him on Monday.

No spiders swamping my bot. I have checked.

May post a photo after dinner.
