Well, I figured randomizing the candidate feeds for an update will lessen the impact of one bad feed. Good feeds at least get a chance of an update, where they would not with a fixed sort order like "id" or "title"= . Turns out the cause of the broken feed was a code bug. I changed my instance. When I get home from work, I'll check in the bugfix. --=20 Kevin |
