Surprising, but not entirely surprising. It was clear you were stepping on the toes of certain institutions; it's more disheartening, yet understandable, that you had to give in at this point. Surely, some Twitter keyboard heroes have already celebrated. Thou shalt not grant privacy! Yuck!

The only hope left is that there will someday be another platform like eXch, though the chances are slim; for in truth, only eXch itself ever felt like eXch.

Farewell, my dear! I'll definitely remember your service with a smile.
