This doesn't help much, but sometimes I just pass on feeds that are still active but have very stale content and not a lot of chance of new content in the future.
To me, the Dead status really means the feed is gone -- not just that the content is stale. But if I don't feel comfortable approving it either, I just leave it for someone else. There are so many feeds in the queue, I figure my time is better spent processing the obvious ones than making decisions on borderline feeds. For this particular feed, I would probably approve it for now, knowing that eventually it will disappear and need to be marked as Dead. It's fresher than some others I've passed on. -- Stuart "Rattlesnake Stu" Whitmore ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://www.just-stuart.com/ ------------------------ Yahoo!
