You apparently signed up somewhere along the way. I did during the Iranian elections to see how the protesters were using Twitter to organize and evade the police. Occasionally, I get an email from someone saying they're not following me on Twitter. But they'll be sorely disappointed because I never twit. Or tweet is the proper word. Nobody wants to twit. Or be twitted. Or be a twit.

A whole slew of people are now sending me messages saying that they are following me on Twitter. I don't know what Twitter is, or why people are following me on Twitter, or why anyone would want to follow me on Twitter, or why I would want to be on Twitter. But I have received approximately 100 messages saying that people are following me on Twitter. I admit that I am a senior citizen but I have no idea what these people are following me for, and no idea what Twitter is, nor any idea how to prevent these messages. Apparently I am too old for this stuff. People I have never heard of are tracking me on Twitter, and I don't even know what Twitter is. But I guess that I am way out of the loop, because even Jay Leno makes reference to it.
