Just as we were getting ready to go to bed, I went to switch off the laptop. It was then that I noticed that Mr Ross had replied! Feeling slightly stunned and abashed, I responded, to which he graciously replied again. This gave me pause for thought, so I posted once more. I was about to call it quits for the night when, yet again, I got a response. Well I couldn’t leave it be by this point, so I thought hard and tried to sum up my position and then went to bed.

The following morning, with a clearer head, I saw there was a further response. I made a final response and that was that.

So, a somewhat surreal experience but perhaps one that illustrates the power of Twitter.
