I like RSS feeders, but they don't automatically pick up the files (at least, Thunderbird doesn't).

Thanks in advance for any help.

Pornokrates "Historic smut for the discerning voyeur". I ahem came across this whilst searching for some of Rochester's works, but it seems to be a rich resource. For example, how have I lived this long without knowing 69 Ways to say "You Whore!"? Not safe for one's place of employ, I would hazard
