Also note there is a "initial article trim" to skip a number of articles when first starting on an RSS feed.

Well I have been testing this one out and it is going nuts on me. The feeds I have are from Racing sites and they come in every few hours. Bad thing is that it is grabbing even the old stories over and over. 8 stories have been repeated on the site 12 times now.

This is nuts. Is there a better way to have it check for dupes? I know in the other RSS feed hack they have sorted that out. I would like to see that in this one. :\
