Agreed. I will massage the copy today. Of course I'm assuming people read
the documentation but it is at least a start.

Again, if you have suggestions, please email a...@twitter.com.

Thanks,
Doug

 Hi Lee,

The rate limit is per-account for authenticated requests, and per-IP
 address for non-authenticated requests. If you (or anyone) has suggestions
 on how to make the documentation [1] clearer I'm all for it; please email
 a...@twitter.com with your suggestions. This seems to be a common point of
 confusion.

 Thanks;
