I subscribe to several hundred feeds. Staying on top of them all would cause my brain to explode. Rob, that’s some serious anxiety problem. I subscribe to several hundred feeds.

In fact, if you read the original <a href="http://libraryclips.blogsome.com/2005/11/18/rss-anxiety/" rel="nofollow">post by John</a>, it has nothing to do with the anxiety she describes. Personally, I have more anxiety surrounding my need to stay on top of all of the feeds I subscribe to rather than the fear that something I post could be inaccurate and unerasable from the Internet annals. Perhaps it's my background practicing psychotherapy that has my panties in a bunch, but I get concerned when the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DSM-IV" rel="nofollow">DSM-IV</a> increases diagnosable mental health "diseases" - I would not be surprised it "RSS anxiety" is taken seriously, considering there is already a diagnosis' of <a href="http://www.emedicine.com/med/topic3115.htm" rel="nofollow">caffeine-related psychiatric disorders</a>. Actually, what gives me the most anxiety is that I was familiar with most of your linked references from your checklist. To think that we visit similar sites gives me a ton of anxiety ;) It seems the WebMD author was grasping at straws and looking to fill a required post, to be honest.
