Hacks and workarounds for a flawed system are not long term solutions.

All it would have taken is one checkbox.

Do you want to activate this feature? Y/N

Trust takes a hell of a lot of effort to build and very little effort
to piss away. By not giving us that checkbox you have pissed away a
large amount of trust that I and the other unsatisfied people here
had.

On the positive side, keep in mind that the reason that you see the
level of anger that you do in here about this is precisely due to the
fact that we generally do have so much trust for Google as a company.

Nevertheless, I somehow doubt that the stockholders of Google would be
quite so happy to see the Google Reader team frittering away the
companies REAL main resource, and for what? "Hey look! We are social
too! Yay!" Is it worth it?
