@sellathechemist@mastodon.social I had same: far more congratulatory emails for resigning from RS than I had for being elected!
You may get a few weird people turning up in your emails, but for me ratio of positive to negative was around 19:1. And the negative were not impressive.

@sellathechemist@mastodon.social One weird thing that’s happening to me that may be Musk-related is occasional deluges of automated messages on email from various help-desks that I haven’t contacted. The timing suggest they are probably from US and I suspect a disgruntled Musk fan. So far they are no more than a minor irritation, but let me know if you get anything similar
