"a slightly-twisted, longtime Chicago-area writer" I knew there was a reason you're so off the chain! I was born in Joliet myself. I definitely get it. I read another member talking about the 300 they lost. I guess it's too soon for me to relate, with barely over 100 followers myself, but damn, if they take those, WTF! By the way, how in the hell did someone gain followers out of the blue? I definitely call foul...
