The original Twitter was probably best. In 140 characters per Tweet, folks
had an opportunity to offend the world. Early users of the Wireless
Emergency Alerts had to warn the world in 90 characters.
One Twitter user described it as writing the Great American Novel one Tweet
at a time.
In the Military Auxiliary Radio System, folks are taught to THINK about
what you will say. SAY it. Unkey.
In life and death situations, it would be a shame to have someone die
because one went one syllable too long.
This is KC5FM out.
