May be. :o)

Oh that's the end! :o)

Well. I think the email subscription of news does the same - first sends
You the material You have chosen, then You can easily delete it as any
other message. Seems same to tme? - But what is comfortable - I use the
very same program - the email client for both, whereas in case of using
feeds - I have to use for the very same purposes already two programs - I
can not call it wise, or s oit seems to me.

Oh, then I see the difference for You. ;o)
OK. Thank You, Camaleón for Your letter - it is always a pleasure and
profit to me - to read from You. ;o)
Have a good time!
