That's Progress

BEVERLY HILLS (MI) -- Eleven years ago “FTS” produced a column about Dayton Flyer players and their use of social media, entitled “The Social Network.” Included in the article was the Twitter handle of everyone on the roster, as well as those of former UD players. If you click on the link and scroll down to the comments section, a few readers took exception to my doing so, declaring it was “weird”... “stalkerish”...and somehow “creepy”:
