Back in the dark ages before the Internet, we had amateur press associations (apas). You'd get a package of zines and write comments on them. Hard-working, considerate people like John Hertz would make the comments into self-contained mini-essays, but lazy slobs like me would just write quick replies that made no sense unless you had the original mailing in front of you. If you didn't, it would be a cascade of brief gibberish like "ct Melvin: Not really."

These kids on Twitter think they've invented something new.
