Agreed--that pisses me off too. That being said, this is only a problem with RSS readers. The site itself links directly to the post.

We are going to fix the RSS component, but chose to hold off on that until we saw how the uptake was. So far it looks promising. Nearly 7,000 uniques on the first day.

As for the clicking twice, there's no ulterior motive there. It’s just a limitation of Drigg that we're going to have to hack around.

Hm yeah. I hear you. Now I feel bad about suggesting an ulterior motive with the rss links - it's just it really strikes a nerve when I see that. Good luck hacking around - and good luck with the site.
Don't worry about it--I can see how one might think that we were just trying to increase clicks. That being said, once we have a moment, we'll certainly be fixing this.

Besides, I expect to be the site's most active user. The last thing I want is to be hampered by extra clicks. :-)
