I believe this error occurs when the search result would generate more than one page of results and a since argument (since or since_id) is given. Certainly something like that is bound to at some point, even at 100 reqs/page. I'm not fond of this implementation, mind you; I'd prefer getting the most recent page, plus maybe a warning in a separate field, rather than deepsixing the entire request. -- ------------------------------------ personal: http://www.cameronkaiser.com/ -- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * [email protected] -- FORTUNE: You can overcome any obstacle.
