Hey you all, Now I'm gonna let down my guard to you pinheads, NOT on Twitter... Can you please tell me when "you" find the time to do all this stuff? Twitter, Listserves, surf the net, volunteer for professional and noble causes, write books, etc? Oh and don't forget we need to spend time with the family, eat, sleep, work, exercise, read, engage in hobbies, fix the house, relax and smell the roses? How do you all do this? I am frequently baffled by all these things people seem to do - I can't fit in half that!!! Eric Hammarberg, Assoc.

I have been finding that there are ways to develop filters, but it is certainly a kind of wild space Suddenly I am connected to a poet from Bangladesh... i'm curious, but then i'm not curious in a hurry once I look -- and they want me to be responsive. I think it takes a bit of stamina to ignore people. > Also I'm old enough to be thoroughly weirded out over privacy issues. I deal with it by making up multiples of fake persona. When I first started to do e-mail and was getting all these, "Are you the real Ken Follett?" it got tedious in a hurry. I own the @kenfollett twitter address, by the way. I felt very triumphant to get ahead of that curve by a very small measure. > Facebook still feels like shouting with a bullhorn into a crowded room. I am finding the room so crowded that it hardly makes any difference how loudly I may be inclined to shout. A problem w/ the shouting is our thinking anyone that we could possibly care to have a conversation with will hear us. ][<en -- To terminate puerile preservation prattling among pals and the uncoffee-ed, or to change your settings, go to: <http://listserv.icors.org/archives/bullamanka-pinheads.html> <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> The information in this email and any attachments may contain confidential information that is intended solely for the attention and use of the named addressee(s).
