A while back I'd written the list in my crappy German to ask whether this
community has a Twitter account. Unless I've totally birded out and failed
to check my email, yet again..., I haven't gotten a response back. I know
that there's a twitter account at @lowlands, but it doesn't seem to be
related to Lowlands-l.

Hi, Ben!

As far as I remember, we discussed the issue. Maybe you didn't read the
thread because I didn't use your proposed topic "twitter".

I said that I didn’t understand the benefits of Twitter, certainly not in
this case. Sandy did some research and explained tagging. I said I’d give it
a try with my own account first. So far I really don’t see any real benefit,
just a bunch of small bits flying around all over the place, most of which
is of no relevance or importance to me.

So I still don’t quite get the point and don't see a real benefit for
Lowlands-L, and it seems like just a bunch more work.

I'm still keeping an open mind to persuasive arguments, though.

Thanks for being on the case.
