# Is the message a "reply", i.e. a message directly to the Twitter account?
# If so, check the message for different keywords and take actions.

# (The reason for not sending messages out in reply to a "mention" is that it
# may be harder to guess exactly what the person is looking for based purely on a 
# keyword.  With a message sent to the account (a "reply") you have a better 
# chance of replying with accurate info.
