Dear reader,

yesterday it was Friday and it was brought to the authors attention who is just using Twitter for some weeks that there seems to be a habit/ a tradition to bring most valued Twitter accounts to the attention of ones own followers. Without speculating over the rather philosophical question why Friday is the chosen day for thanksgiving .. religious motives or because in Christian workweek Friday evening marks the possible beginning of the free weekend I think nevertheless it is a good idea of mentioning those people who contribute foremost to reporting on interesting subjects or discussing days/times events or just exchanging a few not so fact focussed thoughts ...

For the reasons of
a.) being lazy
b.) messages are perhaps overlooked
c.) forgot about c *ooops*

but nevertheless the author is thankful to all my sources on different subjects/regions for their efforts and their spirits.

So here is it the compilation of lasting & special gratitude to fellow users of Twitter and a recommendation for getting followed:

If have to emphasize that I have also highest regards for those who put out messages on behalf of achieving the uppermost on human rights issues and on promoting peace.

The author asks for forgiveness in advance for forgetting perhaps some people who deserve to be on that list and for possible faults in spelling of those already mentioned and in general for sometimes posting messages which could be interpreted differently than intended (always keeping highest respect for the other and his/her opinion even when i don't share it !)  .
