So how about we circumvent it... starting here; everyone in this thread follows everyone else in this thread. Spam filtering is a good idea. This 'followers-quota' is not.
Did I just follow you on Diigo? Why? I want you to follow me back to get around Diigo's draconian requirements for posting public stickies. I scratch your back, you scratch mine. Cheers!
