alexander,

i've been using your tool for a few days now, and it's changed forever how i read the Y! message boards. really terrific. in GN i can sort by author and get rid of known bad ones/keep known good ones, and save useful stuff. for multiples faster than before.

i don't know your plans for this, but hope you turn it into a generic tool. someday phpBB and the others might have this sort of feature built in, but.. it'll be a one by one progression etc.

msg boards are a different beast, but i wish more sites did what PubMed does, ie allow sending a user customized keyword search as an RSS feed.

some feedback. i know it's only a yahoo message board, and you don't need two-phased commit or checksum architecture to guarantee message integrity. but, you sort of have to guarantee no message gaps. palm eg. is in a very interesting period, and heavy msg volume friday led to hourly gaps. it's the ancient problem of tradeoff between getting, in realtime, both very high volume and very low volume messages.

conversely, on one very lightly used board, i got duplicates after i deleted posts i didn't want. but not all, just a few reappeared. i will watch this carefully again and report a better description.

thanks!
