I am not sure that this is true. RSS feeds for MyRR systems for all premium members would be a constant drain on the server. Emails about changes, especially if they were limited to a single notification per day (collect changes, notify all overnight) is almost nothing, kind of like forum subscriptions vs thread subscriptions. Both can have emails, but forum information is only sent (at most) once a day, whereas thread subscriptions are sent out within minutes of a change in a subscribed thread, the latter is much more resource intensive.
