What is being done currently hurts the legitimate users more than it does the spammers. removing the ratios, reducing the limits, and removing the limit entirely for following users that are already following an individual, IMO makes much more sense so long as we're going to limit people in this. The other option is to just remove limits entirely, but I don't expect Twitter to do that. I'd love for Doug or Alex to get into this discussion, but I suppose it's not up for discussion it would seem. Jesse
