I checked my feeds in IE7 and found that it claims that one of them
"no longer exists".
It seems once again we have a situation where WLM simply can't handle an
invalid feed, in this case, a Blogspot feed:
http://gazza4d.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default
It turns out that the blog no longer exists.
We should have the reasonable expectation of WLM's ability to handle the
possibility that feeds may be deleted or, in the case of the previous
Feedburner feeds, that sometimes the server producing the feeds may
occasionally be overloaded and unable to service feed requests
(returning blank results for example).
