Ductape Fatwa, whose presence once graced numerous blogs until the fall of 2006, was one of the most thought-provoking writers I’ve had the privilege to know. He was arguably a force who brought many of us together, and who would no doubt have nurtured this blog had his life not been cut short just weeks after its inception. His ability to bring together people of diverse and sometimes divergent viewpoints and personalities is one I have often admired, and is one talent I wish I had. I digress however.
As a few of you may have sussed out, I do spend a little time on Twitter. I’ve had my account for ages, but really didn’t much use it. Anyway, I’ve been on a bit more as of late, and just for kicks decided to see if anyone had made mention of our old friend. Much to my surprise, I found Ductape Fatwa’s Twitter profile. Of course it’s not his per se. It is a memorial set up by someone else. Whoever set it up doesn’t seem to update it very often – seems he or she comes by about once a year since setting up the profile a couple years ago. I would love to thank whoever set it up. In the meantime, check it out, add yourself as a follower, and perhaps we can incite the person responsible to update it a little more often.
Quick update: if you don't have a Twitter account, you can access Ductape Fatwa's profile here.

That profile seems to have disappeared. :(
I've been thinking alot about him recently with everything going on across the various ponds. If only he was around to add to the conversation..
(Admin thing: can you change the order of the comments to have the most recent at the bottom? Thx.)
I've been trying to figure out how to make the order of comments change. So far I am failing abysmally. I'll play around with it as time permits. I did figure out that DT's profile is available still, but there's a different url you have to use if you are not logged onto Twitter (see my update). Life is full of complications - computers just make life more complicated. :-D
Testing something here. Let's see what happens.
Looks like newest threads are stuck at the top. Feh. Looking to see if there is any way to change it. So far Echo isn't particularly helpful.
I have Echo on my blog and had to change the comment order too. I'll have to dig around for the info. I don't have admin privileges for the comments on this blog so I can't change anything. I'll post the info here. Hopefully, you'll be checking back.
Thanks for the new link. I don't have a Twitter acct.
Sounds good. I appreciate the help. :-D
