How difficult is it for some people to add three or four little words to their posts on an internet forum/social media platform? “In my opinion or “in my humble opinion” how difficult is that? It can alter my perception of what you are saying. If I want you to speak on my behalf then [...]

I’m testing the autopost feature. You may get duplicate tweets, as this should automatically post to my “Wizzard’s Blog” blog site, which in turn twitterfeed feeds out to twitter.
