Yes, this is the case where I would like to receive DMs from people that I am not following. I do appreciate the people that follow everyone back so they can be DM'd, but I imagine it doesn't help those people (or you) really follow the core group of people you'd like to very closely (tho there are tools for that, which I'm sure you use), and I'm sure it puts a hurt on Twitters servers by having to connect all those edges on the graph. Thank you for your explanation. I think we're all on the same side of the argument here, it's just the implementation/practice we're worried about. -Chad
