I resisted installing POPfile for several weeks--partly because I wanted to be more familiar with the Mac environment before installing something so far out of the ordinary, and partly because I wanted to give mail.app's junk filter a test. By January's end, it was pretty clear that the Junk Mail filter doesn't work as well as I'd like, and I missed POPfile's more general mail sorting capabilities. As I've mentioned before, I sort incoming mail into a couple dozen categories. Teaching POPfile to recognize those categories lets me get by with two dozen rules, rather than a couple hundred. Much better.

Agnostic or no, I've been watching the continuing debate about syndication. And when Tim Bray and Jon Udell both show up in my aggregator expressing concerns about the shortcomings of the entire breed, I can't help but notice. The essays are on different topics, actually, and address different issues. Both are well worth reading.
