Plop! Then silence.
Nothing. Nobody for weeks.
Plop!
At last! somebody. A solitary 1 in a little red circle....
Excitement!
Then nothing.
Silence.

Plop! Plop! The beginning of a cataract - a mighty cascade of individual plops?
No! One solitary notification then months of silence.

Nothing! No-one!.
