That does appear to be correct now, I'm getting 200 on page 1 now :-) Perhaps something should be added to the documentation about this weirdness, as 199 statuses generated instead of 200 means my code, which I havnt yet will not realise there are more pages....
I'm experimenting at the moment, hence not doing anything paticularly interesting just grabbing my own timeline. So 199 returned but no reference in the xml to say there was a deleted post there...
