It's very, very rare that we have something that goes across to all four sites - perhaps something memory-related, or some "big news" that impacts all users. I've changed the post to only show up on Pocket PC Thoughts and Smartphone Thoughts. I'll ask Rocco why his 2 AM brain thought it was on-topic for Digital Home Thoughts and Zune Thoughts.

Bill, you're a long time reader, and I respect your opinion, but don't you think you're overreacting just a little bit? If you happen to see the same headline more than once, all you have to do it click onto the next item - it's not like you have to stop to read it. Although you mentioned deleting your RSS posts, so it seems like you're managing them like email - which isn't usually the way RSS is managed. We'll try to keep the duplicate posts under control, but given how rare they are, I think you're protesting just a wee bit too much.
