The issue is that the validation function does not allow docs to be
saved by other users than than the user listed as the doc author. This
makes total sense for editing docs, but breaks down in that it does
not allow docs created by the author on my machine, to be saved by
replication into the db on your machine, unless you are logged into
your machine as me.

(OK I just realized that I'm probably talkng about Sofa's db
http://jchrisa.net/drl and not the Twitter client.

The twitter-client design doc
http://jchrisa.net/twitter-client/_design/twitter-client has no
validation function. It could be a different issue. Also my couch is
running on not-quite-trunk ATM...
