No, i'm not suggesting it in any way...

I'm just saying that if you have a feed with not so much updates (let's say 1-2 news in a week) AND if you set Godfatherbomb to archive it daily, you'll have duplicates.

With so many feeds for any subject is very easy to find 10 more different feeds on the same subject. But if you can't mix them, and instead you put all of them in the template, you'll have duplicates again (except for those with updates).

This is true, i missed to state daily archiving was a priority (and the kind of the niche was another).

In fact i solved the whole thing upstream, widening the range of my search and sorting it by date.

Bye.
