Lisa Pope actually has a point ... If you send me an actual private message to me out of the blue with me not recoginizing you I'll at least read it. If you send me spam that gets through the filters? Those get deleted almost instantly.

"I may greatly dislike what you are saying, but I'm willing to take a bullet so that you can say what you wish to say."

Sometimes reality and satire are indistinguishable.

I hope twitter goes the way of napster. i.e.: it becomes an afterthought you'd have to think about and go look up just to see if it still existed.

There's got to be more to it than just that. I know how to can rhubarb. My wife won't attempt to make a rhubarb pie. The stalks are edible, the leaves are not, and she doesn't know where that plant goes from edible to toxic.

The problem with attempting to nationalize a disfunctional industry in the US is all the people who will scream "that's socialism/communism!" and "Muh Freedumbs!" in bitter opposition. Plus, the regulatory framework meant to protect against abuses will invariably be used to quash alternatives.
