Hi George,

The count parameter on timelines is more of an "up to" parameter -- you
should get no more than the count value, but you won't be guaranteed exactly
the number you asked for either.

For legacy reasons, most timeline methods don't include retweets in the
default response. By adding the query parameter include_rts=true to your
requests, you'll be more likely to get the number of results you are looking
for since they are included in the original underlying payload (and are
often the "missing" tweets you are looking for when the default returns less
than what you're asking for).
