Who? The nearest I get to following a 'star' is the British comedian Stephen Fry because he genuinely interacts and makes me roar with laughter. Mind you, FabooMama does that too :-) - Sally Church

she is like 60% of those who try twitter -- they do not return - Bob Boynton

"Oh no! it's been a whole week since she hasn't updated!" - Who cares? Don't like the SUL? Don't look at it. Don't like Oprah getting followers? Don't look.
