I just got suspended upon reaching 500 followers. Aargh! I have written a letter to Twitter request my reinstatement. I'd be interested to hear YOUR thoughts if you have a moment spare to give an opinion. I have posted my little diatribe at the URL below. http://hubpages.com/hub/Please-Help-Me-Get-Reinstated-on-Twitter Thanks for your article on "asocial" networking. It kinda cheered me up. :) Leave me a comment any time. I'd be happy to network with you. Best, Christianesk Dear Kathleen,

It would be a shame to see spammers drive great users and contributors like you away from the twitterverse! Best wishes Hung Kathleen,
