Yeah, again with the nomenclature. I don't want to know if the other account is following me; I want to know whether or not my device is receiving their updates (i.e., via SMS). In my previous post, where I said "friend", I meant what's commonly called a "follower" and where I said "follower" I meant "one who receives updates on a mobile device."
