> No, but it does mean you don't want, or at least are ambivalent about, new Babblers, doesn't it?I don't see that 'no tweet' = not wanting new Babblers (speaking for myself). I don't feel ambivalent about new Babblers. I like there being new Babblers. Babble has helped me greatly & I like to see others getting support here.
The thing that makes me feel uncomfortable is the thought of people reading Babble posts out of sheer curiosity. Although I'm not "up on" the details of twitter, due to the fact that it is (if I understand correctly) a new popular internet 'thing' - I have the impression that there might be more of a chance of people reading out of curiosity. This, as opposed to someone discovering Babble as a result of doing a Google search on a psych med (the way I discovered it) or searching online for a support forum. Just thoughts.

> BobI think that sounds like a good idea. For me, I can't make a commitment to welcoming all newbies; my ability to do so depends on what's happening in my life, hence 'how I'm doing'. Any thoughts on what commitment is involved in being a 'greeter'?
