Yes, but that means you don't visit those sites as often, now.  So, for 
an ecommerce site, is that a good thing (from the perspective of the site)?

Of course, at least the RSS aggregator (ala BottomFeeder) has the user 
visiting at least a portion of the site on a regular basis (they "visit" 
the RSS feed), and I suppose there are some users where without that, 
they wouldn't "visit" the site at all.  But is that the norm?  What 
about "most" users (if there is such a thing)?  Would an RSS feed mean 
they would visit the site more?  or less?

I suppose the answer depends a bit on the target marget for the 
ecommerce site.  But, for Bountiful Baby, I'm starting to have real 
reservations on whether it would be worth the trouble.  But I'm *very* 
curious about thoughts that others might have, and I appreciate Cees' 
comment.
