apologies - this reference was indeed obscure - I was inferring that
anyone who was disenabling their RSS feed to try and bring in more
traffic to their site was potentially a mindless flesh-eating zombie
and was potentially dangerous as a result.

I was in no way meaning to infer that the metabolically challenged
should not write RSS feeds, nor should they not write sites - indeed,
there are many zombies (and dinosaurs, for that matter) who are
gainfully employed in just this way - it keeps them off the streets
and away from management roles.

It is more that I found it hard to understand why someone would bother
to needlessly annoy RSS subscribers when, quite frankly, no-one has
too many of them. Make the site truly remarkable, by all means, but
don't dumb the RSS feed down to the point of uselessness.

Cheers, Andrew
