Which I've been able to do, since my wife has a Mindspring account, and
only uses it for e-mail and web stuff.

Yep. It'll take me a bit longer in the morning to pull a feed from both
servers, but it'll be worth it.

Well, America.Net has a timely newsfeed...it's just not very complete.
I think Mindspring's feed is both timely *and* complete. But, to be on
the safe side, I'll just pull from both and let Yarn sort out
duplicates. If I download from both on a frequent basis, I don't expect
too much trouble. And, I'd rather see a few articles twice than see
many articles not at all. :)
