he was just asking for links to good feeds, and announcing what he thought
would be well received. i just can't see it as grandiose.

it's true, nothing revolutionary, just a web based aggregator, and a few
days worth of work (w/o compensation). i might just subscribe to his
feed though, that way i can read all the good content from all
you guys/gals who write it.

here's another aggregator i read every day. it's incredibly useful and i
have
become familiar with many new sites/authors through it that i wouldn't
otherwise
have known about:

i don't doubt you do lawrence, but it's not clear everybody does: "And no,
he shouldn't be able to take someone else's content, twist it into something
it isn't, without permission."

although i fail to see any twisting involved.
