You criticized the content that was covered in my post but included none yourself to rectify what you perceived to be a problem. That was not only unhelpful, it was nonacademic. And every single rss program I listed in my post most certainly does require .net to work properly. You not providing any of your own sources that do not require .net wasn't very helpful. And your one link, http://syndic8.com , that you included in your reply was mentioned several times in the tutorials and rss explanations that I also provided links to. I hope you put a little more effort and consideration into any further replies regarding this topic. Unlike you, I spent about a week putting my original post together that you so callously disregarded. <From: elijah wright <elw@stderr.org> <"RSS is one of my favorite useful bits of technology - I agree with your promotion of it, but disagree with the scope of what your post covered."
