Very odd. I had not tried the post-dating, very good point. Maybe the author has a fix. You are right, it is double posting. Very odd.

The plugin throws up the tweet to twitter the moment you press Publish, but as such post-dated content will not be visible until a later time, anyone following the link will receive a not found message. When the time does arrive for the post to appear, this plugin does not push a message to Twitter that the post is now available. It also tends to double-post to twitter - which explains your double tweets over the past couple of days, Brian ;) It's disappointing as I liked the flexibility of defining the content of message it posts, something most others do not have.
