Umm, I realize that I’m a motard, but what do I do with that lovely page of code that pops up? This is one of those times when I should have paid more attention in a previous conversation with you, I think. Or do I just need Google Reader, or something?
Also, your site remembers my responses to the first three fields, but fills in the fourth bot-weeder field with my response to field #3. The answer to ‘what is 3+3′ is not davemcgee.com. Almost ever.
I’m fairly sure it’s your browser that’s remembering the field values, not my site, but why that’s happening, I have no idea. Browsers usually remember field values based on the field name, and the two fields that are being confused are labelled “url” and “question”, respectively. Did you maybe type in the URL into the wrong field one time? You can go to “Options”->”Privacy” and clear the saved form information, and start from scratch.
As to the first question, you are no motard, I just didn’t explain well enough. Yes, you need a feed reader. Google Reader is indeed one, but I strongly recommend Bloglines instead, at least until Google Reader gets a bit better (and gives you the option not to flatten all of your feeds into one.) Try Bloglines, I expect you’ll love it. Just copy-and-paste the URL into the “Add” field in Bloglines, or get the Bloglines browser button and click it when you’re on the page of XML.

Feel free to leave replies even to very old posts.
You have pretty much free rein to write whatever you like. Just make it contentful and it will probably stay, even if you are abusing me. Just:
Don't bother spamming. Your links are automatically tagged "nofollow". You won't increase your Google rating. Nobody will click them anyway. Save us both some time.
Advertising Policy: The URL field is for personal blogs, not commercial enterprises. Have a valid website or product to advertise? Those do get clicked, and it's cheap. Click here to advertise. Otherwise, your URL is subject to deletion at editor's discretion.
