Cool! It's been a while since I checked. I have no patience and read too many feeds so I'm "forced" to use-external :) >> I tried writing my own external fetcher which does Etags and >> If-modified-since but I still have the repeat article problem.

Does anybody have a nice value for that variable that they can share? I tried using it for a while but it seems like you have to track down the right fields to ignore for every feed that you read (or at least every one that produces dupes).
