so much "what color is your parachute?" as it is
"what color is your nose?"

A very apt truism.
What I had missed was that retweeting is unmanageable pollution only as far as
the public #hash searches go. If your friend is parroting every release from
some corporation or institution, then your subscribers, per se, don't suffer.
Even if there are two hundred people doing the same thing.
I think that Twitter would be cool if it either took retweets out of #hash
searches or made blocks of persons also take them out of these searches.
Darren's point is very well spoken for how corporations (and technology guru
wannabees) might behave on the internet. But individuals can do the same thing
for a cause, whether it's some unpopular religious sect or a good cause we're
already bored with. It becomes propaganda-- is it fascism?-- to keep pouring
material down a hole in the hopes of advancing one's cause.
