Wastes it, because it is *so easy* to fit in a tweet here, a twit there, when you are supposed to be doing something else.McMootshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17155680513510901748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20092824.post-53415913264649625812010-04-14T01:55:45.849+10:002010-04-14T01:55:45.849+10:00I don't twitter.
