@pmbug
shouldn't you use more often the hashtag #goldforum in your posts - not the replies to others' posts but your posts in your profile - therefore attracting to your profile people looking for gold forums?
 
It's kind of like internet keyword marketing - being #1 for a word that no one is searching for doesn't really help.
 
So I got into a thing ...


The conversation was really rather bizarre/surreal.
 
I guess I got the last word on that exchange as he hasn't responded to my last post in the last hour or so.

I appreciate the repost, but how did this person even see my post in the first place?

I'm curious how the non-existent chicks who keep following me know I exist and what they really are

Those accounts are generated by bots (computer programs). X has a search feature that provides suggestions. Type a letter or two in there and you get a list of autocomplete suggestions. I assume the bots mine those to find accounts. Also, if you have ever posted a single thing, then your post can be searched and found. There may be other methods privy to the bots that I'm not aware of. I haven't really examined X's structure that closely.
 
I seem to have unintentionally stirred up a bit of a hornets nest:

 
Got a lot of replies. Sarah Johnson referred to you as Mr pmbug and she's not into eating bugs. Made me smile.
 
A couple of unusual follows this morning (just now):

Precious Metal Storage......Industry leader is leaving the individual storage business

When an industry leader offers exceptionally low rates for storing precious metals it is easy to become complacent to the real costs associated with storage.

The Ed Krassenstein account that followed me appears to be the real Ed - over 1M followers and the blue check mark. I have never noticed any interaction with the account before though (no retweets, replies or likes).

The Bob Coleman PRIVATE account puzzles me and I suspect it is a fraud account. I've interacted with Bob on his real account and he's active there. I doubt he set up a second account.
 
Following Ed. Could be worth a few laughs.

Here's a goodie

 
Mr. Goldcore (Mark O'Byrne) gave me a follow.
