I'm surprised you don't use Twitter.

I have enough trouble keeping up with the technology I already have! I am by nature a Luddite. I try to wait several years after the "next new thing," to see if it "takes," before I use it. I waited till 1987 to get a computer, till 1997 to get the Internet, and till 2005 to get a cell phone. I know how to browse the Internet and send e-mails, and that's enough for me. I don't do Twister or MyFace or Spacebook or any of those newfangled thingies.

Good for you. I joined Facebook a month or so ago because I found a number of friends and relatives on there. But other than posting links to my website, my Kiwanis website, a jazz site and such, I haven't figured out what it's for. It seems kinda silly.

I'm not one to post what I did today, or how many trips to the bathroom I've made (none of your business...), so I really don't see a whole lot of value. But, I'll leave it go for now.

But, there's way too much in-your-face idiocy on the web as it is. I don't need to contribute more.

Guess what? With the introduction of the new I-Phone, you can now get the earlier version for just 99 bucks. I plan to even though I don't think I can use it with my MetroPCS plan. What I will do is use the Wi-Fi to connect to the web via the I-Phone. I can't wait.

As to Twitter and Facebook, I think you will find them very useful for any future Lutheran uprisings. Quick communication with the people you want to communicate with. Like I said, Twitter can be very boring or a fantastic research tool if you use it right.

Hmmm.... I notice this DUmmie thread is no longer on the “Greatest” page at all. From the very top of the Greatest page to not anywhere on there just hours later. It doesn’t happen that quick so I think Skinner got worried about how ridiculous the DUmmies were looking and removed it from anywhere on the “Greatest” page.
