> No matter what the Wikipedia warriors profess

BTW, I was reading your Twitter the other day, and saw that you complained that Wikipedia doesn't have any information about TTY - only two paragraphs and nothing more. Now you are here, I have to tell you that you have accidentally set your browser's Wikipedia language to "Simple English" [0], which is a special edition of Wikipedia for English learners, it only has few editors, thus most articles are incomplete. On the other hand, the normal "English" Wikipedia has a fairly standard introduction to TTY [1], around 16 pages on my screen. You've missed a lot, don't forget to switch your language back to "English" if you haven't done it already ;-)

I don't understand how that could have happened, so I won't address that issue. But this leaves me baffled:

I was reading your Twitter the other day,

This has to be the single worst decision you've made this month.

As far as I'm concerned, my Twitter feed is write-only memory. The SMS equivalent of dev/null.

If you're ever tempted to do so in the future, reconsider. Go for a walk. Write some poetry. Make love to your wife. Do anything else. We get so little time on this planet, please don't waste what you have looking at what I have to say.

Many months ago, mid-June I believe. Not this month.

AWESOME :)

I just laughed at some of your tweets. Thank you fine sir ;-)

Since Twitter disabled their legacy no-javascript page, the world became a bit greener again.
