Again, this process is spam-proof! That's the main reason why I'm an RSS evangelist.
Only the feed publisher can designate what information gets into the feed, and the only information the subscriber pulls down is what the publisher put there. When you subscribe to an RSS feed, you're not giving your e-mail address to anyone, they can't send you stuff you don't want.
This is a huge deal, especially for people who currently publish or subscribe to e-mail announcement services. Spam has become so pervasive that up to 38% of all opt-in e-mail messages (stuff that people have specifically asked to receive) get blocked by spam filters. My colleague Steve Outing wrote an excellent Editor & Publisher article on this problem last August.
So you have a colleague, Steve O. Where did you meet him? Did you write this post, Vova? It is correct that RSS cuts down on spam that you'd have to go through, but try to post stuff that looks like you wrote it.
