Thanks for the tip, Dave!

I'm not a Twitterer, but I've just become a tumblrer because I like the idea of a microblog.

'Nonce' is UK slang for 'paedophile', incidentally.

Damn! That's too bad, Joe. It's a word we need for its original purpose. But thanks for letting me know before I got myself in some real trouble.
