Re: newsreader technology for SI

I've written my own SI crawler to solve EXACTLY this problem. (I call it PSIBot -- Pierre's SI Bot. <g>)

I hope you won't consider this crass advertising.

Right now the software is somewhat user-unfriendly, because I'm the only one that uses it. I originally began writing it with the intention of selling it at a modest fee as shareware to other SI users, but lack of interest and other compelling work has shelved further development of it. I was motivated by the frustrating delay of having to hit the SI server between posts, a delay made all the more frustrating by worthless posts consisting of garbage like "Go Micron!!"

What are your thoughts on the potential return to my spending the time to complete a public release of my SI crawler?
