Maybe because you created a poll and then proceeded to announce that 
you are ignoring it? :) 

Those people who left this mailing list because yanoff is a 
usenet "newsreader" as opposed to a rss "newsreader" were likely 
doing a search for "newsreader". It didn't mean your product is bad, 
it just wasn't what people thought it was (which isn't your fault 
either). It didn't mean you had to go out and add rss functionality, 
although I have to admit it sounds cool. In addition, there is a lack 
of competition for rss readers for palm devices. But that's not 
enough for me to cough up 24.00 USD. For half that price I could get 
HAND/RSS.

Personally, my biggest feature request is SSL support. It doesn't 
matter how good of a reader you have, if you can't download posts :)

With news.individual.net changing into a not free usenet source, and 
many usenet sources requiring secure logins, many people may not be 
able to use yanoff at all. My second top request would be vfs 
support. I know you mentioned that this is difficult to do, but I 
really do believe that support for ssl, vfs support and high-res and 
or landscape mode (which I believe you have already done) would be a 
great selling point versus gpl yanoff or even yanoff- .
