| (...) Such customized feeds don't work well as RSS. I can certainly imagine some pre-selected filters, and a few seperate feeds - but having a feed generated just for a specific user won't work well. For the Peeron Sidebar though, it would. And it's (...) (20 years ago, 23-Jun-04, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

| (...) I think there's a LOT of value add in RSS feeds, in general, but not this one, not at this time, it's too raw. I would want to see some stuff filtered out, somewhere. I'm keen to see if someone can provide a mechanimsm for configurable (...) (20 years ago, 23-Jun-04, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

| (...) I dunno - about 20% from my logs. How many of those users actually use IE6 to read RSS? Probably very close to 0%. As it makes really no sense to try to consume an RSS feed in a web browser. (Though mozilla does have some extensions that allow (...) (20 years ago, 23-Jun-04, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

| (...) Like IE 6.0, for example? What percentage of users use it? Pretty high, isn't it? I find it frustrating that developers either have to allow for MS broken-ness, or disenfranchise a bunch of users, most of whom want nothing to do with pro/anti (...)

| (...) I for one am totally hooked on RSS as a way to keep up with site I visit frequently. In one RSS news reader session of 10 minutes, I "visit" the 40+ blogs I frequent daily. And with notifications when new stuff is posted, it's SO much easier (...) (20 years ago, 23-Jun-04, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

| I've expanded the Peeron Sidebars idea to include an RSS feed of new posts. Not sure if it's going to be as useful as the LUGNET sidebar, but it was easy to code. The new feed can be found here: (URL) the old sidebars can still be found here: (URL) (...) (20 years ago, 23-Jun-04, to lugnet.announce, lugnet.admin.nntp, lugnet.off-topic.geek) !

| (...) Yes, I have to admit - after a few years of bouncing about I eventually did settle on mutt. Been using it for 5 years now. Can't imagine any other mailer that will allow me to handle ~10,000 emails a day (even if 9,000 of them are spam :). (20 years ago, 15-Jun-04, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

| (...) Okay, this being .geek, I have to point out two things: 1. Outlook does not rule. Outlook sucks. 2. This is really easy in mutt, and in fact I've got several such 'hooks'. :) (20 years ago, 15-Jun-04, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

| I'm on [quite a] few mailing lists. Some are registered through different POP accounts. I use multiple POP accounts in Outlook. I often neglect to select the appropriate account for the list, which results in my messages being rejected. This either (...) (20 years ago, 12-Jun-04, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
