Sorry, couldn't help myself - I'm a newish reader of the blog and am liking the reality grounding going on here.

I see the recreational value of Twitter but agree that the self-importance of otherwise sober bloggers is being inflated by their OCD acolytes. It's even easier to blow wind up someone's arse when you are limited to 160 characters.
