I guess my mode of operation is, "if I don't like it, I don't read it." I don't really agree that people's entries should be forced behind a cut just because *I* don't want to read it. I have friends who use LoudTwitter (yes, it drives me crazy too, because my thought is, if I'm interested in what you have to say on Twitter, I will follow you), who post about the specific details of their sex life, who share a YouTube video almost every day, etc. --> but if I don't want that stuff on my reading page, that's on *me*, not them. Either I unsubscribe, put up and shut up (as gossymer so eloquently put it *wink*), or simply SKIP it. I don't understand why this--^ isn't an acceptable option. It's not that inconvenient to scroll past the "offending" entry. It's not acceptable because it's not just one person shipping 10, 20 or more tweets per day without a cut, it's *multiple people* on my very large friends/reading list doing it, and it's damned annoying. If I wanted to read their tweets, I'd follow them on Twitter. I do want to read the rest of what they've posted, though, and I don't think I should have to tell every single one of them (some of whom I don't know very well yet) that they need a cut tag. It would be nice if we could default tweets to a cut, but it looks like that's an issue for some people.... So, whoever it was that replied to me earlier with the code-fix, thank you -- as soon as I figure out where to put it and how to do it, I'll do so. And I'm sorry to have started a kerfuffle. Heather
