Apropos of nothing, but I was reading someone's twitter and they retweeted your "Work it harder etc." tweet and I just want you to know I laughed so hard that has seriously made my morning.
"FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DON'T NOTE ME ANYTHING YOU NEED ME TO REMEMBER. EMAIL ME INSTEAD."
Don't know if you saw this yet, but it's possible in Settings -> Site Preferences to disable notes 'for everyone except staff members', if you just don't want to use the system. May be up your alley!
