Twitter-link

Twitter seems to (geo?-)block me even for readonly access. Or it
feels offended by my browser filter plugins not allowing to exploit me
good enough?

The sterilised tweet, I see no replies so far.

The attached image only seems to show two two (fake?) posts of a
(fake?) newsgroup <tudor.general> which I wasn't able to find so far.

Which servers do carry <tudor.*>?

IMO two posts is not "a big back and forth" or "flame war", so I
expected to find far more than that. :.(

Was it exaggerated or is it incompletely shown in the sterilised
tweet?

SMART ME UP!
