My last post was more of a gripe/feature request, but I'd call this post a bug report (albeit a minor bug).

As of some time late this afternoon, every post is now being modified by adding a <source/> element even where it appears in its original feed. In addition, the values of the unnecessary <source/> element are not correct. The <source/> element, when used, should reference the FEED title and link to the FEED url, not the POST title and POST url.

See: http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/rss/rss.html#ltsourcegtSubelementOfLtitemgt

I don't think NewsGator should EVER add the <source/> element EXCEPT when a post has been clipped, in which case only the clippings RSS should contain the NewsGator-added <source/> element. Of course, posts that already contain a <source/> element when spidered by NG should not have that <source/> element modified.

Looks like it is a bug and has been submitted by Nick Bradbury to the platform team.
