I really appreciate it. I'm not too familiar with RSS, but will do my best to get it fixed. I hadn't even thought about the swap potential of "hoard" and "horde," but you are correct. That is cringe-worthy, especially in a financial publication. Mary Fred,

It is missing "Hoard" and "Horde" that make me jump when misused in financial publications. Your RSS feed works, but is referenced with a "no title" title in google reader; I believe your settings are short an attribute that you may like to correct.
