When ever I send out a tweet from DU - I always have to edit out the words 'Democratic Underground' that show up there automatically (still do)

because that takes up too many characters and I need all that I can get for the tweet and all the extra hash-tags that I add.

In my opinion the words 'Democratic Underground' doesn't need to be included in the tweet because when someone clicks on the link in my tweeted out tweet they will see that they end up here at DU.

I hope I explained that clearly enough
