I was one of the first heavy users of feedcircuit and I use it every day to download the entire washington post and la times, among many other sites that list content as feeds. Many feeds downloaded are filtered first through skweezer.net, to strip extraneous content. All html files created by feedcircuit are displayed according to rules in a userContent.css.----So I'm quite familiar with the power of RSS readers, especially feedcircuit.

I'm just sayin' that sometimes a guy's gotta let his hair down and dive into the intertubes, and I can't always ensure that I've got a particular site in my userContent file. That's where FWTV can be helpful.
