Why doesn't Metatalk have an RSS feed? Or have I missed it?

Yep, sorry, my stupid.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that it's for the same reason why you can't list metatalk threads by your comments or by most recent comments...because mathowie doesn't want to encourage people to keep closer track of metatalk threads, That is just conjecture on my part.

My guess: there's no RSS because it might encourage more people getting MeTa'd, since their silly squables would have a bigger audience.
