Cheers—no shortage of hitches it seems, but will get there in the end!

Whatever it is , don’t start drinking again (:! I will look at moving as well, but I hate the hassle. Fools will always publish, can’t protect ...

I would be interested to hear about your migration to Sendy. I am thinking of using that too.

I’m about a third of the way through, will be able to devote more time to it after I submit my proposal on Friday. It’s a very 90s interface compared to here, and the work required depends a fair bit on how closely you want to mimick aspects of here. There’s no comments/likes/sharing built in for eg. In my case because I’ll integrate it pretty tightly with Travelfish for billing purposes, there’s a fair bit of elbow grease involved. SS’ export is not ideal, but will get there in the end. Ask me again Friday week! 🤣
