Lol, you seldom get above 50 characters in a post. You're a genius
in that regard ;-)
Why, thank you, Off.
I'm taking that as a compliment, however it may
be intended. :)
Twitter sounds stupid to me, but I guess people said that during the
Iran demonstrations and troubles recently, a lot of news was able to
be gott'n out of the country due to side-stepping the ability of the
government censorship by using Twitter with remote bots, tag clones,
ghosts, carrier bits, leach drones, and cyber vacuum holes.
Yeah, it gained a lot of notoriety during those,
but mostly what I see is pretty boring stuff.
So if a revolution ever comes to Vermont, you can certainly start
the revolution without me.
Any revolution would be nothing, nada, without
you, Off.
