BOFH not available in feeds

Thanks for your interest in the Bastard Operator from Hell. Simon Travaglia, the author of BOFH, has asked us to remove links to his articles from our RSS feeds. We will not restore the BOFH RSS feeds without his permission.

Episodes 13 and 19

They are still there if you know the URLs

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/04/20/bofh_episode_13/

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/06/01/bofh_episode_19/

I wanted to link to episode 13 recently for a geeky friend and so I had to go searching for it ... but it's linked from Simon's RSS feed ...
