Who cares? I don't give a damn whether he does this or not, he can link 
to anyting I have any time he wants. Based on his grandiose appeal for 
help with his site I wanted to caution people about going to any trouble 
on his behalf. It appears that he gives little or no credit to the 
authors of the resources he links to or provides basic information about 
them either. This approach takes little or no work on his part and I see 
no reason why he should be rewarded with any help from others.

Everyone already knows this and noone providing RSS feeds cares who uses 
them.
