On the other hand, notes passed back and forth, when caught, were often posted on the wall -- then that was that. Tweets are instantly sent to Facebook, Google, and the like, making the lonely wall now public and even, at times, somewhat permanent. Good counsel, George, "Hiding failures is not really success."
