DUers': How weird is this and, also, WTF?

[DemoTex]

I don't do Twitter, but I did signup a couple of years ago. Cut to the chase: "stevedeshazer", a long dead DUer (an Oregonian with the rabbit icon) sent me a tweet a week or so ago. I know that after Steve's death, his daughter posted for a short period. WTF is this scam?

1. Not on Twitter, but

on Facebook I've had two ongoing "friend requests" from dead people, one of whom has been gone for over a year and her daughter really freaked out when she got the same request.

2. Off topic---are you still on Mt Lemmon?

6. For a few more days

Next Saturday is my last day. But I'm burning some annual leave to do some photo work at Empire Ranch, and I have some command rug dances at the Ranger HQ. But, yes, I am on the Lemmon Rock tonight. August 2, 2014, and the heater has been running since about 3 PM!

11. I'd hoped to drop by again

I'd hoped to drop by again on another day hike before you departed, but I think I'll be too busy this weekend for a drive up the mountain and a dayhike. It's been comforting to know the fire lookout has been in good hands this summer. Safe travels!

3. Hijacked account?

Must be...

Weird I know but I have a social media section of my will, passwords etc so I can be deleted.

4. Agent Mike is bored? n/t

[DemoTex]

7. Ha!

You have been here long to remember Mike.

8. Agent Mike seems to be a ever-recurring DU joke, like "morans".

There have been a couple of "best of DU" threads in recent months. My fave was the one about the mixed-breed mystery animal.

5. Steve's account, last tweet march 2011

his old account might be hacked I suppose..


I really miss Steve

[DemoTex]

9. That is quintessential Steve

Thanks Viva. Steve and I were plotting a meet-up, maybe at the lookout tower in the Deschutes NF. So sad. And so FU that I get that "communication."

10. Kick. Maybe someone can come up with the answer.

Hopefully the tweet will turn out to be totally benign.
