As long as its a mailing only of new added stories, then its a very good
idea to get announcement of additions as stuff gets posted to the site
but missed by us for quite a while. If there was a huge volume of
articles posted to linux.ie it would be unecessary as we'd have to read
it regularly to see what we missed. But at its current low volume
checking the site is not something that you do regularly as its
generally unchanged. But it would have to be new additions only,
resending the same unchanged list would drive me homicidal within days.

Actually on this topic, could you extend the number of last posts and
articles listed in the rdf to about 10 or more. 5 is really short and
makes the linux.ie boxes in my spiffy rdf collection page look sadly
sparse.
