"The popularity of RSS feeds is testing the web infrastructure of at least one publisher, which likens the impact of newsreader traffic to a denial of service (DoS) attack."

Why yes, as a matter of fact I did. I was pressing refresh on my newsfeeder incessantly, with a view to subjecting your website to an RSS Denial of Service.
It's spooky how you guessed what I was doing…

What J said! I always seem to anticipate news on your site Dale, it's like a hobby… a really sad late night hobby when no one else is around (except crusty who anonymously stalks around sites without me knowing).
