MeFi RSS

Does MeFi have an RSS feed? I searched around, but couldn't find one...hopefully I wasn't missing something obvious...if there isn't one, could there be?

Here. Bottom of the sidebar on MetaFilter's front page. (From what I've seen on MetaTalk, it's frequently broken due to members making use of non-standard characters while posting.)

crap!

i'm really in love with the idea of having an rss feed for trillian pro that actually matters, but this sucks.

any way we can put in a strip script to remove non-standards?

It's not merely the non-standard characters at fault, jcterminal. The solution seems to be elusive, if not impossible.

My friends, there is an answer:

Metafilter XML: http://markpasc.org/stapler/mefi.xml

Metatalk XML: http://markpasc.org/stapler/metatalk.xml

My friends, there is an answer...

And the answer is:
    XML Parsing Error: not well-formed
    Location: http://markpasc.org/stapler/mefi.xml
    Line Number 71, Column 1080:

Why, that's no answer!!
