I'll be the first to admit that Terry would add alot to tweeters. But
'forcing' him on is ridiculous. Nobody has the right to tell him or
anyone else what they should and shouldn't do. As you read the above
text, can't you see the "I, I, I" in it? Inherently selfish? Terry will
only add to tweeters if *he* wants to. I thought peer pressure tactics
were supposed to be left back in high school.
