That being said, the big wigs behind twitter do a fairly stand up job of removing spam accounts. You'll notice everyone once and a while your followers total will just drop. Typically that's Twitter clearing out the spam/complaint accounts ... even though the concept of a spam account is quite possibly one of the most pointless things in twitter. The best thin g is that, just because someone is following you it does not mean that you have to follow them back. They've got to earn that right.
That was my thinking as well. I will keep it open for now and see what comes up.
