Known limitations

API only allows 3200 tweets to be downloaded this way :((
150 API limit on the server ... (so clone it and use it yourself!)
Won't work on protected accounts (duh!)
No @mentions or DMs from other accounts

Fetching already!

Closing a window whilst creating an account, http://greptweet/create.cgi?id=example, can cause issues. Need to study http://mywiki.wooledge.org/ProcessManagement.

@twitterapi is super flaky

Twitter does not allow the possibility of retrieving more than 3200 tweets. :( However twitter generally stalls before coming close to this limit. Please consider complaining to Twitter about this issue.

Type your name again up in the box above to update and append any new tweets to any already existing tweets.

I did file https://dev.twitter.com/discussions/3414, which later seemed to be fixed.
