"and why does the browser say 'ASS' in the lower right corner is it some new website rating system?" -- Peter on https://web.archive.org/web/20041022084812/http://dhruba.cod...

There is no "ASS" icon. What they mean is that the RSS logo looks like it's contains "ASS".

Yes, that took me a few minutes to figure out. Just thought I'd save at least some of you those few minutes.
