Yes, each one is a feed ID. We've been working on ways to "relate" them that runs afoul of some long standing "which format" arguments. As such it's been easier to simply list them all. However, feeds from http://example.com/rss.xml vs http://www.example.com that resolve to exactly the same content would be considered duplicates. Usually the feed contains a link to it's "known domain" and that's what should be used to determine which one is the 'authoritative' one. That is, a feed from the base domain might contain links that point to the www host. Thus we'd consider the feed from the www host to be the 'authoritative' one and the other a duplicate. Yes, it's messy but c'est la vie. I periodically scan the entire feed list looking for these sorts of things. So if you approve some now that turn out to be duplicates don't worry too much about it. We catch 'em eventually. -Bill Kearney Syndic8.com ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> In low income neighborhoods, 84% do not own computers.
