Somewhat biased, but I thought it was an good read by the Colonel.

The driver for contacting her in the first place was the takeup of the SCOX RSS (which is still popular). An RSS for Grok which included the toplevel comment text, like the SCOX one would have been interesting.

PJ reacted to my suggestion of just monitoring comment metadata, but not the comment text, by prohibiting "deep linking", a prohibition still in force AFAIK. This would disallow the ability for the served RSS to link back into the thread to read the children, thus making it pointless. I can only assume from the timing the license change was done to deliberately stymie what was being discussed.

This "Deep Linking" prohibition remains unique in allegedly pro-FOSS sites AFAIK and is something more often associated with proprietary and commercial sites.
