    As luck would have it, my needs are now not quite so urgent.

    Have had a few civvy results of late

    Showed a few damsels in distress what to do with their nudges and the next thing I'm round the back experiencing a skill feature of a very different kind

    Indeed, but that's a matter than you can take up with the site Admin and Moderators, I suspect they'd rather keep the trolling sockies than cut the number of posts, never mind that some real posters don't bother due to the sockies.

    You just need to send a text/make a call every 4-6 months or so.

    I assumed that punting was in being a punter like punternet.

    I use a YAC number, and if I want to disable it, I just switch off forwarding, change the voicemail message and agents can leave me a voicemail via email.

    Plus it costs them lots to ring me.

    Though he, she, or it seems to have had ~9 minutes in which to avail himself, herself, or itself of the "Delete thread" capability that remains available until the first reply is posted

    I'm guessing 'punting' in this context is to set up a Tinder account so that the lady no1 doesn't find out about the lady no2 (and 3 and 4 and 5 -that's how Tinder is designed to work).

    According to a conversation a couple of years ago I got the impression that Yanks get charged for each text and it's none too cheap.
