Dear Sirs:

I appreciate that it is technologically possible, as well as terribly modern and Web 2.0 fashionable, to put RSS feeds on everything. However, putting an RSS feed on the collected works of Epictetus is perhaps excessive. He has very few new posts per day.

I can actually see how it might be useful as a way to gradually introduce Epictetus' works to someone (like me) who is not familiar with them... if it is done correctly.

I could totally go for a chapter-a-day of the Enchiridion.

As far as I can tell, what actually happened is that the site had some sort of page template that dumps an "rss this!" link on every page regardless of whether it makes sense or not.

Maybe this is just what he needs to get those creative juices flowing again. Besides, nobody who's anybody writes his own blog these days. I certainly don't write mine.

There would be a delightful irony in Epictetus, whose name literally translates as "chattel," employing some wage-slave intern to write for him...
