[Hidden-tech] Twitter-software question

[Shel Horowitz]

I'd think a regular Word doc would be easier to work with, as tables 
can be funky. Of course, table has the advantage of letting you 
easily mark the tweet history for each line.

-->Be sure to use a monospaced font!

However, this would be a potentially horrible way to accomplish your 
goal. You might get gibberish much of the time.

Also, do you want to leave room for links?
