(...) 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'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) !
