There was, historically, some difference between what's in the mem cache and what was committed to the backend store. I don't know what has changed in the architecture since then, but I suspect this is part of the same thing. -- personal: http://www.cameronkaiser.com/ -- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * ckai...@floodgap.com -- Helmet: But when will Now be Then?!?!

There is something very quirky going on with DMs. That 841-character DM that I received is now only returning 247 characters when I retrieve it via the API. Dewald

Anyone know any more about this? I am curious about this as well. On Aug 18, 2009, at 3:26 PM, Dewald Pretorius wrote: The API documentation says a DM must be under 140 characters. Someone just sent me a DM that has 841 characters. I counted the characters after I fell of my chair and got back on it again. What's up with that? -- Scott * If you contact me off list replace talklists@ with scott@ *
