1) New feeds are added to the database, I then edit the link, changing the URL, will this link be added to the database again the next time it checks the feed? I'm asking because i sometimes remove the sorce=rss from the end of the link and it looks like I'm getting duplicates.
2) Same question as above, but using title instead of URL.
3) How often does it query the feeds? Once a day? I see Feed Cache Timeout under links in the admin panel, but think this may apply to the RSS feed people can add as part of a link.
4) Do you see any problems with having a lot of feeds? Will they all try to update at the same time?
5) Are you going to put up a manual entry to fend off these kinds of questions?
1) If you change the URL there's no way to know that it's already added, so it'll re-add.
2) It checks the URL, not the title. Gallery, KB and Forum check the title.
3) Daily. "Feed cache timeout" was for the associated-to-link feeds already available in 4.0.x, but it'd make sense to also apply it to the new feed system so I'll do that.

6) Will it re-add if you soft delete, hide, or reject the link?
