Anyone know if it's possible to subscribe to the board as an RSS feed? (In the interest of full disclosure, I can't figure out how to subscribe to any RSS feed) Just in case one felt one needed even *more* distraction.

I don't think an RSS feed is available. one of the deficiences of this board software is the in-ability to subscribe to threads.
there are some great freeware RSS readers out there, though as you say, it's just one more distraction!

Dear IP: I looked at their home site, and no limitations
were mentioned. I don't plan to subscribe, I've got plenty
to keep me busy.

here's a couple of urls:
http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss
http://www.webreference.com/authoring/languages/xml/rss/intro/
I like this line from the second source:
Think of it as a distributable "What's New" for your site.

An aggregator is a member of the class Crocodylia which eats only farm crops.

RSS Feed is a mixture of rice, sorghum and silage which comprises the diet of many farm critters.

The ICLIU is the International Crocodylian Liberties Improvement Union, dedicated to protecting the rights and privileges of gators and crocks everywhere on the planet.

TEd and I are deleriously happy together .. here at the home.
