Am I the only person who gets lots of repeated articles in the Escapist RSS feed? It seems to be related to article titles getting edited or something but whatever the cause it unnecessarily inflates the article count with pointless entries. Perhaps a minor quibble but one I've put up with for quite a while so I finally decided to see if there's a decent explanation. Below is an example of what I'm referring to:

Myself, I don't use the RSS feed much so I can't say whether this is common or not :-/

Seems to me you get an entry for the article, and then an entry for the updated article. Which is how the news section already operates, so it's not actually weird (in a way).
