My point is that you seem to be very agitated by a process - getting and reading your RSS feeds - that Google Reader makes very easy and painless for me, with no updating or wrangling. Then again, for all I know this may be akin to suggesting that people stop eating Vegemite; just because I don't see the reasoning in submitting oneself to yeast extract for breakfast doesn't mean it's not a valid choice.
