Aye laddie.     I'm especially "slow" in the tech culture.    I'm OK with that.
Twitter has nothing to do with tech culture.  I'm fine with tech culture.

I'm referring to the culture not the science.    The talking past each other, cheap shots, etc.      I was in IT for many years.   Am familiar with,  understand it (though I sometime pretend otherwise :)) and the nuances of it.      Will admit the skills have dulled and become outdated.

Just saying, I wouldn't credit twitterheads with any attribute related to tech.

Is Twitter some sort of cult?  I mean seriously what is the point of all the "nice" postings?

It's like a bad inside joke. People on twitter seem to think stuff like that is funny. It's a bit tongue in cheek.

Not to worry.    It was more on the internal "customer service" side.     :)

So tell me, when she posted a reference to 69, was that just an innocent and not sexual reference and everyone else was turning it into one.

Most likely, yes. It's her job to report on the team and tweeting their record is probably a regular thing for her. The rest was just the Internet being itself.

I think it was totally a sexual reference. Veiled, but intentional.

She doesn't strike me as someone who would deliberately do that. She has a good gig. Could put that at risk.

Making a sexual reference on Twitter is the last thing Chelsea would do, especially if she's representing The Post. It just so happens the Nats' record was 69-69, and the people who are aware of the "nice" meme jumped at the chance.

I agree, but ... does she regularly post the Nate record?

All I know is that, since the Nats got their 69th win, they've been stuck on 69.

I'm not sure if it was innocent but probably. I don't follow her that closely. But I agree that she would be taking a risk.

I don't know about that one, but Chelsea has been on a weird roll lately. I wonder if she's coming off the beat soon too.

Have you read her recent tweets? They just seem like there's more personality in them.

Good thing we didn't trade him for prospects at the deadline.
