      (I have some misgivings about this format, because it means the text isn't really online anywhere, just some pixels that represent text. But I'm tired of threads.)

          This gonna add a thick layer of difficulty to the data analytics of your twit. At the end of the day, actual growth and potential growth sits above all concerns except when it threatens to derail growth.

          I enjoyed the format. Mobile & desktop easy to read, not intimidating and memorable.
