@patrickklepek So to get older twitter posts, you can just use google's search tools.
To start, type anything into google the full search options to show. On the search result left-side bar, look below "Everything images, maps, videos". There should be a Search Tools option. Click it, and it expands. Choose date. If you know roughly when the tweet was posted, your work is basically already done.
Once you have all those refinements, what you search for is this:
site:twitter.com/TimOfLegend/status @dracogen
It'll pull everything Tim, and only Tim, has ever said to Steven Dengle, within the selected time period, in an easy-to-read search result. Since twitter messages are short, you can usually read the whole thing in google's text preview. If you happen to know the exact tweet, you can tack that on the end of the query. Twitter's new UI should allow you to pull easily display exchanges, once you find something relevant.
You can replace any twitter username with TimOfLegend in the search string, if you need someone else. For example, if twitter's new UI doesn't help with conversations, and you need to see what Dengle said to Tim.
I hope this helps!
