I had weird things happen with snort too - I just chalked it up to relay and connection load issues, but it would hiccup randomly and I suspect it was behind a glitch that purged some followers from my list early on when I was first setting all this up back with Introductions and exploring those clients and such. Weird operations indeed.

I see. It bothers me when users are "pulled onto a closed island", so to speak... it seemed to me that they were trying to assimilate me into a snort community. I haven't used it since... the client is very strange. I haven't had this kind of user experience elsewhere.
Almost like it was by design - I always thought it was a strange one.
