Stop talking so loud!

Sending an "@" message in Twitter is like a normal conversation between you and someone else, and maybe a few passers by, the followers of both parties if you will, can hear this conversation also.

However, sending an "@" message in Twitter with a cuntingly annoying "." or "-" before the "@" is like shouting your conversation so EVERYONE CAN HEAR.

Not everyone wants to hear an in-joke between two people, or a witty reply that you're especially proud of. If I wanted to hear the conversation between both of you, I would have followed both of you.
