Some people need to flip the bird, too. And, while I will grant them that it is a form of communication, some needs do not require fulfilling. :)

"And, while I suppose it is a form...", or "And, while it is a form..."

Omit words.

Nah, the first one indicates opinion whereas the second implies fact. :geek:

You're right about the difference, and I think it makes the second better.

I'm BaghwanB on Twitter as well. Mostly tweet random comments/musing, local Occupy coverage, and occasionally retweet stuff that catches my eye. No surprise that my main saved searches are for baduk, nethack and occupydenver.

I don't use Twitter (yet)... I always thought it was just a gigantic spam machine but it looks like I may have been wrong. Still I find it strange to use it just to speak with friends (many do that).
