I think this is a valid point, but what would you do with accounts that do recurrent @s? You don't have to follow them for them to show up in your mentions, and that means a never ending stream of blocks. Moreover, those kinds of recurrent tweets also show up (all other things being equal) in Twitter Search, contaminating those results. -- ------------------------------------ personal: http://www.cameronkaiser.com/ -- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * ckai...@floodgap.com -- She loves ya! ... now what? -- "True Lies" ---------------------------------
