      Step 1) Buy Twitter Step 2) Shut it down, for the good of humanity Step 3) Repeat with Facebook?

        If anything should be posted in the Insider News forum, it's this! Wonder why I don't see it there.

        The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.

            I was off fixing a couple of bikes when the news hit. And shane and Bob just didn't care enough to post. ;P To avoid duplication (because some people are physically hurt by it), I'm just using this as one of the "Hot Threads" in tomorrow's newsletter.

              Great. Now it’s going to turn into a place where people post stupid opinions and then argue about them and call each other names…;)

              If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

                From your lips to God's ear, as they say.

                If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

                  I couldn’t care less. I never signed up for Twitter. I don’t know how to sign up, how to use it. I don’t care if Elon Musk now monetizes Twitter with ads, extra charges for services, etc. I am trying to stay away from social media. As it is, Farcebook is sending me friend requests from friends of friends of friends…..ad infinitum. I don’t know many of these people and I don’t need them as my friends. My life is complete without them. It cannot be more complete with their addition; more complex maybe, but certainly not more complete. God only knows how many FBI or CIA files I am on because of these interconnected spider webs of people who have tenuous if not non-existent connection with me. I really hope someone nukes the data centers of Twitter, Farcebook, Google, Amazon and anybody else who collects data on unsuspecting people.

                    It will make zero difference to my life. I'm not on Twitter, FB or any other social media platform. I value my privacy. And my only interest in Musk, is wondering how such a complete duck got to be so rich! :confused:

                      And what's that? Yeah I know I could google it, but as I don't care a heck about twitter, I haven't documented me yet in the topic (and I don't think I will)

                      M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
