A quick note for clarification
I (this is Ariel behind the keyboard) mentioned how/why I began following Whitney on twitter and sometimes I’ll see people who post comments about something that I can identify with, and then twitter suggests other individuals like this person, and after looking at their tweets I begin following them too.  So it could have been one of those circumstances.
