Thank you for your consideration. Keep up the good work!

It really is true that people refuse to read the threads, drives me crazy as this was covered only two posts back.

I do think having the widget be a constant size, especially as large as it is makes it less attractive for use, I think there are three choices:

1) Size the widget to the number of feeds being read and only show that number of articles.
2) Allow the user to set the size of the widget with or without scrolling options.
3) Allow the user to choose between the two widget styles.

I vote for number one as I think it will be simpler for everyone. Thanks for all the work!
