I haven't been checking the listserve as often, but only saw two

responses. I hate to be the " paranoid " person, but since I can't

find any other post from you before on the RSS listserve, can you

tell us a little bit about yourself and your child?

You clearly are an awesome programmer! I just need to feel some

comfort level with the security of the rsskids.com website. The

yahoogroups site, although every 5th email does pop up with an ad and

I have to hit an extra button to say no thanks - does have a long-

term history of security.

Because so many of us write very personal information about our

children, I have to be extra paranoid. Let us know. But great job

on the programming. Is that what you do for a living? I am

jealous!
