I've tried a few auto-cut options on various twitter to lj feeds; not only did the cuts fail a lot, the entire post failed about 50% of the time. And that is a problem because I really do use the record.
However, Maggie recommended Greasemonkey for Firefox as a way to make Failbook less annoying (doesn't help much), and it appears there are a ton of lj scripts out for it. Quick searching shows http://netninja.com/2008/12/02/lj-cleaner-greasemonkey-script/ and http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/17139 plus a million more including one I need to try which opens nested conversations and another that blocks all ads. Basically Greasemonkey is a framework for people to write javascript to run within Firefox only, so it enables geeks to banish things they don't want to see or write a script to pull something into firefox that isn't normally there. I'm pretty sure Loudtwitter is a javascript widget, and I know my twitter viewer is javascript.
I've heard of greeseymonkee and thank you, but I don't use firefox. I am forced to use ie at work, and on my own I only use google-chrome becase it is so much faster and crash resistant than any other browser.

Oh well! Thanks anyway - good suggestion.
