Can this be right? Am I reading this wrong?

That link is to a website that catalogues all of his tweets. I plugged in the dates June 1, 2020 thru September 13, 2020. That blue link to the left of the search bar is the total number of his tweets and retweets for a 3 and-a-half month period? I think that's what I'm reading: 42,005 tweets and retweets?

Forty Two Thousand and Five

Am I doing this right?

**UPDATE** I knew I was doing it wrong. It's a total of 3,726 tweets and retweets. I needed to go to the main archive page and plug in my dates:

I didn't try to search any keywords. I just wanted to see how many times he twittered blogslut Sep 2020 #5

But you can type specific keywords and phrases in the search bar, adjust the dates for whatever range you need, and the results show up automatically, highlighted in yellow.

How did you get that number?

Oh wait, I see what I did wrong. Yes, it's 3,726 total tweets and retweets, June 1, 2020 - Sept 13, 2020.

I don't find that any more assuring. 3726 is still a whole damned bunch too many.

I just changed the dates, and the tweets appeared in the field below. The number changes if you change the dates. The type is small, but readable. Each tweet has a link to go to it, too.

I think my computer hadn't finished loading the page before.
