Message boards are crazy critters... but an essential part of the exercise!... and you're right.. this MB has wiggled itself into a pretty small space.
I like your posts, you respectfully challenge. I share your skepticism of the twitter approach (it lacks accountability)... it is a new one for me. However, I am pretty confident that the company is responsible for the tweets. Moreover, I think it is deliberate and calculated. There will be DUTV news on Monday other than tweets!
