Hi the hare,
We've been known to disagree on one or two things over the years but, other than minor swipe about T2W not being a site for traders, I completely agree with everything you said in your OP. However, I'm afraid this doesn't bode well for you. I remember 15 years ago (or there abouts) when the mobile operators introduced texting - I spent many an hour ranting about that and telling anyone who'd listen that hell would freeze over before that took off! I have a mobile which I carry purely for emergencies - never use it otherwise. I send about 2 texts a year - which is 2 too many as far as I'm concerned. I've never been on FB, Twitter or any other of the 'social media' sites that everyone else seems to use. So, I'm with you 100% on this one.
Tim.
