|
| (...) I think the easiest way to solve this problem, at least immediately, is to be able to create a feed per newsgroup or collection of newsgroups. For instance, you could subscribe to .trains, .trains.org, or simply an uber.trains feed. As far as (...) (20 years ago, 23-Jun-04, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

|
| (...) 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 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'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)
