    Next month it will be a year since I first wrote on your “Let Fame” blog! Amazing how time has leapt forward!
    Today I buy the Sydney Morning Herald and tip out the television pgm for the week “The Guide”… and what do I find?!
    An artical written by Michael Idato, with an interview between yourself and Mr Idato. This interesting interview covers such things as the difference between who you are and who you become when “on stage” as it were, the series Kingdom which just aired on Australian televison this weekend and some interesting insights into the effects of fame via the well worn track of Twitter…..
    I was deeply moved by what came out during the interview.
    It made me realise that being on Twitter must be an enormous pressure to “perform” on many different levels because it includes the personal stuff too, which is left alone comparatively when “on stage”.

    That this would begin to interrupt the peaceful existance of one such as yourself becomes clear to see.
    I almost felt guilty for wanting to follow you on twitter ~ after all, you are the reason in total of why I went onto twitter in the first place, and I sincerely doubt I’d be `into’ it at all if you weren’t there!
    Having said that…. it does make me extraordinarily unhappy to think that this twitter experience might be causing such stress on your fine self.

    I know it’s a Moral Sin to come here and write to you but I have no other way of getting things off my chest when it comes to such things!
    Its not like I have email addresses or whatever!

    So I hope you won’t mind too much that I have voiced my thoughts here.
    I suppose it would possibly be even logical under the circumstances if you were to give up twitter for your own sake! Survival and all that!

    I will say goodbye here and try very hard to not bother you any more with writing upon your blog page. I know it’s a bit of a cheek and I fully expect this to be deleted El Pronto too.

    Goodbye dear Stephen Fry of Twitter personage… I have enjoyed the contact so much and wish you all the very best of everything from here on out….

    Love nahatsu

    Ops! I left out a rather vital piece there.. it should read “in the event that you do decide to quite Twitter… goodbye etc….
    Oh dear me!
    (sorry about that and about the dreadful typos! )
