Hi Dean, Thanks for the heads-up. Right now I'm hooking up with a group of Ruby on Rails programmers, so I don't sense any further need for mass un-follow. But I bet, in the future I'll hook up with some other interest group and lose interest subsequently, so that mass un-follow will come in handy. At that time, your cautionary note may come in handy.
