Anybody know what's happened to the Dilbert RSS feed?

The syndicate who publish Dilbert objected to it being screen-scraped and served up as a RSS feed by a 3rd party, so asked LJ to remove it. Even a later attempt to just post a daily link to the strip was pulled, again at their request. There are long threads about it over in the lj feed community (whose name I forget).

However, it is possible to sign up for a free daily Dilbert to your inbox - I funnel mine to a separate folder. It's still annoying, though ...

Ah. Figures. Thanks.

There's a new one though, as long as none of us mention out loud where it is... I have to say objecting to the link just seems petty though.

If you know where it is, could you email me the link? Ta.

Yeah, lj themselves are obviously constrained...
