I was hoping to get some insight on RSS feeds. I read the wikipedia and have been trying to research on the web, but I'm not the most tech savy guy and a lot of the info is over my head. So, as I understand it, I can subscribe to a forum, forum section, or thread and new updates will be aggregated and sent to me. My questions are the following:

If I subscribed to a thread via RSS, would I get an aggregate list of updates sent to my e-mail similar to subscribing to a thread?

Has anyone used RSS and if so, what are your thoughts?

I tried to search for RSS but I didn't find anything. Any and all insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all!
