Well, it's more complicated than that. The rss plugins I use let me
see some 10 recent entries. Anything older than that has scrolled off
the bottom and is gone. I usually check in the morning to see what's
new - if anything happened overnight it's off the radar. I could go
back to the forum and try to figure out what's new in each of the
threads, but I don't bother. Rss is useful for a forum if you're glued
to the screen all the time, but otherwise it's a pain.

Of course, most of the stuff I see coming in over the rss stream from
the forum is in threads I'm not interested in anyway, so I'm not
overly concerned about it.
