@Julie I got a slightly different – but no less aggressive denial – via email on the spam front. Spacelocker’s toast, as far as I’m concerned.

@Mhairi Bob says he knows the owners (we could follow up) – it was his emailed reply that alerted me to the situation this morning as I was heading out to perio. And yes, I’ve changed my Gmail password – thanks for telling me to do that.

A shocking response from a company that is clearly not interested in how it is perceived.

Thanks to your suggestion, I’ve changed my gmail password settings.
