Hey Dusty, It's currently assigned to @al3x, I'm sure he'll get to it some day. ;-)
I have a list of about 28k suspended ids or deleted accounts, out of around 8m I have on file. I'm pretty sure there's maybe 5% or so false positives in there, as accounts become unsuspended but I don't have an automatic process in place checking for that. The 5% guess is based on a manual check about a month ago. I'd be happy to share this list with you if Twitter's not going to provide something themselves. Perhaps we could swap ids.. Cheers, Tim.
