I was responding to the generic comment that: > pretty much no-one uses either of them

I use RSS multiple times daily.

For fun, I'll say. You're trying to apply reason to emotion, not realising emotion drives everything. Consequently you think it's acceptable to force everyone to accept (your) supe…
