>But who's communication are you cutting off -- your's or the twit's? Think about it -- a twit filter really comes down to one of those monkeys in the lineup ("Hear no evil"), sitting there with his hands over his ears. By using one, you've made a monkey of yourself from both the twit's perspective and that of many other participants.

As a matter of fact, I am an engineer (EE). :-)

As a matter of clarification, I was speaking from the perspective of the "twitter". :-) It seems unprofitable ( to me ) from "his" viewpoint to communicate in such a manner as get himself cut off from communication, assuming he wants to maintain that communication. If he doesn't care, then, I suppose from "his" perspective being placed in someone's twit filter is irrelevant.

From the perspective of the "twittee", :-) it might be quite productive to place the "twitter" in his filter.

As to the desire to be counterproductive, well, I guess that's dependent on the individual's wants/desires/motives/etc. :-) Personally, I don't like to be counterproductive ... but, as you said, I am an engineer. :-)
