RE: [syndication] More thoughts...

Hi,

I've tried repeatedly to get to the appropriate folks at Netscape, and
Netscape/AOL.  I've fallen off the end of cold trail after cold trail.
There just doesn't seem to be anyone there anymore who knows a whole heck of
a lot about RSS; witness the DTD disappearance.  If there is someone, they
indeed seem to be in a corner far flung from anyone who has the ability to
speak up.  I wish this weren't so and hopefully someone will speak up.
