Import Twitter statuses
even when this option is unchecked, it downloads twitter post's from people

any option for people to just post on their twitter a/c and not show their twit's ?

Delete old statuses:
this should have option like 1 day etc.

in one of my test run it donwloaded 40+ updates, there should be some ooption for limiting.

My install does not import twitters if I have this unchecked. Is it downloading them for all accounts or just for the global site account?

I agree that it should respect a limit, probably based upon the Delete old statuses setting. So that upon the initial import it checks this setting against the timeframe call. Anything less than a week doesn't seem to make sense to me, however it wouldn't be hard to add some finer-grained intervals.

Adding this to my queue, will take a look at it to ensure that it's not still problematic in the dev branch.

Currently the module does not import Tweets if the import setting is turned off, so that part of this issue is fixed.
