I've met with them, they want to offer something to this community, but I
don't blame them for shunning RSS itself, if I were in their shoes I'd stay
away. This place is a huge mess.

If you ask "What is RSS?" on this list, you're likely to get blamed for
starting a flamewar. This is a pretty basic problem.

That you want to infiltrate them is another indication of the problem. It's
a pretty hostile thing to want to do. Check it out.
