New Twitter account!

I case you haven't figured it out, I am new to the whole Twitter thing.  Somehow I managed to get @Zwischenzug2011 suspended in the first 30 minutes of life, and my understanding is that it could be a long time before that is resolved.  (The fact that you can "re-open" a trouble ticket that is still "in process" isn't reassuring.)  So, I have a new place to find us on Twitter:

Thanks for your patience!

It's Your Move!
