>The reality is that some people care how they treat others and others do not. A twit filter works for some and not responding works for others. To be honest I hate to see you guys engaged in this type of exchange. Too bad it happened but the world will continue.

As I've said, the problem is no longer one for me; I'm more than happy to put it in a little box and forget it exists. I had to make a decision whether the loss of that segment of the UT participation was worth the decreased level of annoyance; an easy choice. I don't have to come up with any further quantification of the perceived value of removing that part of the content, since I'm already a PUTM. It's an added benefit to a membership that I'd gladly pay for even if the twit filter were not a part of it.

Sorry to upset you; I'm still visible and available to you, so I don't see how you are affected by my decision.
