* 150 API limit on the server ... (so clone it and use it yourself!)

## Fetching already!
|
|
|
|
Closing a tab whilst creating an account,
|
|
<http://greptweet/create.cgi?id=example>, can cause issues. Need to study
|
|
<http://mywiki.wooledge.org/ProcessManagement>.

## Twitter can be flaky
|
|
|
|
Twitter does not allow the possibility of retrieving more than 3200 tweets.
|
|
However twitter generally stalls before coming close to this limit. Please
|
|
consider complaining to Twitter about this issue.
|
|
|
|
Type your name again up in the box above to update and append any new tweets
|
|
to any already existing tweets.
|
|
|
|
I did file <https://dev.twitter.com/discussions/3414>, which later seemed to be fixed.
