Yes, maybe you should stop.  Not stopping the code authoring, stop 
the endless sniping and whining about RSS.  It's grown way too 
tired.  Stick to programming and positive news.  

As for what have others done, ask why they started and then stopped.  
In many cases it's because they got fed up of the attitudes and 
overblown ego.
