Lifehacker's custom RSS feeds aren't updating
I love the idea of getting only the Lifehacker posts I want. But it doesn't seem to work anymore. The feeds I really want to use are:
http://lifehacker.com/tag/any/feature...
and
http://lifehacker.com/tag/top/not:fea...
I added them to Brief for Firefox 3 for Mac. It successfully pulled the latest posts when I added them, but has never updated them since. Ditto with Google Reader and Live Bookmarks.
But, if I paste that same URL into my browser and strip off the "index.xml", it gives me exactly the posts I wanted, including a bunch of awesome, fresh posts that never made it to my RSS reader.
Just to double-check, I ran a bunch of variations thru the W3C Feed Validator, and all of them (including the examples listed here) returned "Sorry, the feed does not validate".
Help?

Inappropriate?This has just started happening to me, but on Kotaku. The custom feed that isn't updating for me is:
http://kotaku.com/tag/not:note/not:da...
One big difference is that even if the "index.xml" is stripped off and put in the browser, it still does not work. It returns an incomplete page.
It seems like "not:" is the part that is not working, as variations without the exclusions work.
