That's, historically, a pretty interesting reversal - I'm pretty sure I went for RSS (back in the dawn of time around 2000) to avoid the flood of e-mail news/newsletters, and for faster notifications (back then). Ah, the Wheel of Life indeed: http://catb.org/jargon/html/W/wheel-of-reincarnation.html

An odd idea.

I have "some" feeds and getting those emailed to me would suck, unless I went back to using a real email client. And even then, it'd be pretty lousy.
