Word! it has happened to me more than once already???
I noticed that you re-followed me recently and I smiled.
It is a problem and it has been for a while now.
I would like to imagine this is a legacy problem of an initially poorly design database structure. But then again, what do I know. [grin] I think we’d all like to see this bug get smacked, however.
I download qwitter so I can see who unfollows me for no other reason than I’m trying to keep count of the people who show up and are gone in a week. However, it will pick up people I know and I don’t even think twice about it; I just chalk it up to twitter bug. I haven’t seen that you have dropped me yet, but rest assured I will call you out if I do…………..:)
I know that I can count on you, Bill. [grin]
