Alwin Hawkins:  "'We all want to be big big stars though we all got different reasons for that.' sang the Counting Crows, and it's true. We want credit for the work we do, and an exchange of value for value. Not cash neccessarily but support for the work we're involved in. A lot of work gets done on the web for free that allows commercial products to succeed. In a perfect world, karma would balance and help would flow both ways. Unfortunately, it's not a perfect world."

Charles Miller:  "...I think that republishing my blog on another site is somewhat less than polite. Hence, I've stuck a copyright notice in my RSS feed explaining what I consider to be permissable uses of the file."

Seems a reasonable approach to me - besides "less than polite," it's just downright tacky to publish someone else's page in its entirety on your site - how original is that?

FTC asked to can spam.  The groups propose rules, already drawing fire as overly regulatory, suggesting that the FTC ban commercial e-mail that misrepresents content or fails to provide a way to unsubscribe.  [CNET News.com] 

Thanks to Marc for his rssTruncate macro.  I've decided to start truncating my feed and his macro works great.  I had to modify it so that the "read more" link points to an .shtml document instead of .html.  With this post, I'll see if my modification worked.

Update (3:01 PM):  I've decided to undo this change for now.  My feed will return to its normal state. 

Steve Pilgrim posted number of good links to resources/information on RSS feeds yesterday.  Mark Nottingham's RSS Tutorial got my attention.  It seems an excellent resource for newcomers to RSS, like me... thanks Steve.
