That is not the full definition, or at least it wasn't around two weeks ago when I first noticed it. Once "tweet1" has been sent, any attempt to send "tweet1" again within the next hour (probably longer, but I have not attempted to determine the upper bound) will fail, regardless of how many additional updates have been sent during that time. rv1 = send_tweet(tweet1); # OK rv2 = send_tweet(tweet2); # OK ... rv100 = send_tweet(tweet100); # OK rv101 = send_tweet(tweet1); # Fails, if within some unknown time limit -- Dave Sherohman
