Were you not around for The Great @Reply Upheaval of 2009? > ouch! deleting tweet IDs in my messages ASAP... As long as you understand that means a) people are going to see @replies to people they do NOT follow, which is NOT what the vast majority of Twitter users wanted; and b) this will break any app which tries to "thread" conversations in Twitter, making it impossible for people to see which message it was in reply to. Dropping the in_reply_to would be like replying to an email sent to a discussion list, changing the Subject, and not quoting any of the message you are replying to.
