thanks guys. i have downloaded the "suck" program and i think this may
be just what the doctor ordered. if not i think i will change over to a
push feed instead. i dug around some more and found out they are using
dnews for there pull feeds and typhoon for the push feeds.the pull feeds
from them are pull only, no posting.
i liked the pull because i could control what, when, where and how i got
my news updates. cant have everything. :-)
once again thanks for the help.
