I was initially impressed by PF, buying a license after trying it for a few hours. My only complaint, and this is fatal enough for me to not use PF anymore, is that it requires you to make a decision about keeping or trashing each article you read. When you subscribe to 70 odd feeds and see hundreds of articles in a day, this is a waste of time. There should be an option to trash/expire articles after a user-definable period of time (NewsFire and NetNewsWire Lite both have such an option). Flagged articles should of course not be expired.

I guess the current paradigm is how Mail works, but it's important to realize that RSS posts are *not* emails. They are more like Usenet postings. Most articles in RSS feeds are not stored (by the reader) forever. Perhaps I am the only one who reads feeds in this manner.
