I agree that, with nearly a quarter-million feeds in the queue, reliable automation is a good thing. It does need to be reliable in the sense of not knocking good feeds out of the queue, though.

If the content is "offensive" to you, leave it to another reviewer to handle. Reviewers should be verifying that the feeds are *useful to the intended audience* not that they're passing the reviewer's own moral or usefulness test. Feed authors write/generate their feeds for their audience, not for Syndic8 reviewers. > * the feed hasn't been parsed for 60 days =>dead As long as we're talking about *parsing* and not just *updating* then I could see such a time limit. I would disagree strongly with that limit being applied to recency of updates to a correctly-functioning feed. -- Stuart Whitmore [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.just-stuart.com/ ------------------------ Yahoo!
