AI Thread Summary
The RSS feed for certain sub forums is perceived as short, leading to many unread topics not appearing. Users express a need for the feed to cover a longer time frame to capture more posts.

Overall, the discussion highlights concerns about the completeness and timeliness of RSS feeds for forum content.

Anyway, I finally got a paper on the same matter as discussed in those forum threads, the fat lens model, got it peer-reviewed, and IJRAP...
About 20 years ago, in my mid-30s (and with a BA in economics and a master's in business), I started taking night classes in physics hoping to eventually earn the science degree I'd always wanted but never pursued. I found physics forums and used it to ask questions I was unable to get answered from my textbooks or class lectures. Unfortunately, work and life got in the way and I never got further the freshman courses. Well, here it is 20 years later. I'm in my mid-50s now, and in a...
