Our reasoning is actually very obvious, but neither of us are here to teach a basic SEO class.

Thats interesting, almost like throwing down a challenge and while I don't know your most intimate moment, I will say I'm not intimidated by the possibility of a duplicate content penalty, I just do believe it exists.

I do hope Pat and myself have a moment of two to discuss at XBiz. If your there it would just make the discussion a little livelier.

I wouldn't call it intimate.

I also believe that there is a possibility of a dupe content penalty, but what Pat and I are implying is that it would be very odd for people using RSS feeds to get hit with it.
