Twitter Tools “Show Replies” Option [feature request]

I’m using Twitter tools and am happy with how it works and what it does (especially archiving my Tweets). The only thing that I see missing is the ability to exclude replies from the list of tweets in both sidebar/widget functions and in the post to blog category function.

For instance, if my Twitter stream looked like this…

The lion is the king of the jungle
@alexking do you agree?
@gordonramsey...you make me want to be a better chef
Soylent Green is people
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog
@davewiner is one sharp cookie

I’d want this to show up on my blog…

The lion is the king of the jungle
Soylent Green is people
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog

I’m certainly willing to edit the code myself if this isn’t something Alex wants to add. If you, my dear reader, can help with that, I’d certainly appreciate it.
