Engadget duplicated in Bloglines

Lately Engadget’s feed in Bloglines has had a lot of duplicates. I’m sure this is due to the feed ads they’re using, they seem to screw up the “modified” flag of the entry somehow.

I haven’t noticed anyone else complain, however. Is the problem with Bloglines or with Engadget?

Update 2005-12-30: The problem is that Engadget (or Weblogs, Inc) have started to publish the same entries under different URLs. The problem is not confined to Bloglines, either. Below is a screenshot from SharpReader:

I really hope that someone can fix this, the feed is almost unusable as it is.

Rui sees the same problem.
