Naomi,

"accidentally" find out that someone has twitted me?... I am sure that I am on some lists (twit filters) but I will never "accidentally" find out. For example, if I send someone a message and I don't hear from then I do not automatically conclude that I must be in their twit list. I don't even think about it. I bet KevinG would handle it the same way.

Imagine if people who may have sent me or Alan Popow messages while were were laid-up for a long time concluded that each of us must have them on out twit lists!

Naomi, For a long while you suffered the "indignity" of having face-to-face co-worker "twit" you and as best I could gather it was entirely YOUR fault. I put indignity in quotes because a ral-life face-to-face situation is much tougher than some electronic twitting.
As far as I know you never got to re-establish any kind of rapport with that person. You wanted that more than anything too, and you didn't get it.

You really really NEED to look hrd at yourself. You can push people over the edge and don't even seem to realize it. But surely your record by now tells you that YOU need to change your ways OR IGNORE BEING TWITTED.

I feel very sorry for you. You have proven - should even be true to yourself - that you easily alienate some people. Either live with that and its consequences or change. Unfortunately, for those who have twitted you, they cannot learn that you changed (if you do). That's the way life works.
