@DavidBflower Sorry to see this David, we’re over there too but I’m staying here as well. I’ve put too much time and effort into this one. Maybe see you there. Best Wishes, Graydon 👍 564 views · 7 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

@DavidBflower You do what you have to do. Yet I’d say that to go is crazy. You can lock 🔒 your account and keep any riffraff out and post to a very appreciative crowd of ppl for another 12 years. Sorry to see you go. 🔭 🚀 🪐 🌟 👋 319 views · 7 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

@DavidBflower I can understand your decision David, I am very close to leaving myself. I don’t post as much as I used to on all my Social media platforms but I do when I can. I think I already follow you on other social media platforms so I will see you over there. 😃 x 640 views · 11 likes · 0 reposts · 3 replies Open on X →

From today I will no longer be posting on Twitter. I've had an exciting packed time here for over 12 years, but it's not the same place as when I first opened my account. Thank you for your support.
