That's pretty judgmental, coming from someone who admits to have not even approached the platform. I imagine he will get the same share of sharp and dull questions as he'd get anywhere else.

My point, exactly.

I find it odd that anyone here in the land of kittens and puppies and Johnny Depp should be trying to stake out any intellectual "high ground." Particularly, as has been pointed out, in a medium that allows for very little in the way of illustration.

I like rhubarb pie but wouldn't say it's my favorite so only having it in the spring when rhubarb is in season doesn't bother me. Pumpkin is probably my all-time favorite pie. I know Steve likes coconut cream and pretty sure he likes custard pie but don't know if he's a fan of rhubarb or if there's another flavor he likes best.
Cheesecake pie.

He's going to do it "on Thursdays" and according to his tweet the time limit will be "until I get bored and take the Thing of Evil out to play" so he's leaving it pretty open-ended as to when he'll shut it down or how many Thursdays he'll be doing it. He typically does his writing in the morning so I wouldn't think he'd respond to any questions submitted then until later on in the day.

I like cherry and strawberry (that little 'bite' of the fruit cuts the sweet), but my favorite is pecan. I can't have it in the house or I'll eat the whole thing--don't know why the tons of sugar in that doesn't bother me! A little slice of coconut creme or pumpkin is a joy, too :)

I used to think pecan pie was yucky - until I tried it. It was sooooo good!!

I think (and this is me going on one of my getting old and not understanding the kids soap box here) that what is said on Twitter gets far too much media attention.

For example, some reputable newspapers here in the UK have taken to adding just random twitter comments in articles as if they prove they point of whatever article they are writing about. For example, there was an article the other day about an uproar about something some celebrity said. The article added three twitter quotes from complete yahoos as if the were somehow proof of a national outrage.

That is not news. I pay to read newspapers so someone can find out the facts for me, not do a lazy twitter search.

Mr. King is free to voice his opinion about whatever he likes as long as it isn't outwardly offensive. Now if he tweeted his opinion about gun control while running through the capitol building wearing nothing but boxer shorts on his head, a pistol in one hand and shouting he should be the only one allowed a gun then sure, that story is newsworthy (not sure I'd want to see pics though). Just a tweet is not newsworthy.

Well, either SK is having lunch or he got bored with the Twitter Q&A rather quickly today! ;-D (Or maybe Molly had to potty!)
Maybe he's upset because nobody bothered to create one of these yet...
