Random spurts of RSS feed from MSN My Spaces are driving me crazy

As I mentioned before I've started using RSS readers to keep track of a few sites, including some of my friends' blogs.  So far bloglines has held up pretty well, but I've noticed that a couple of the sites have started exhibitng a strange behavior in the last couple weeks.  All of which are MSN Spaces sites. 

They seem to have a random republishing of content.  Not all content to date though; sometimes it's older stuff that I've seen but not the newer stuff that I had recently read.  Sometimes it's the photo galleries.  Sometimes it's only the blog entries.  Sometimes it actually is all of the content from a certain date forward.  There doesn't seem to be a pattern except that it keeps happening and seems to be related to my spaces.  Why do I say that?  Messenger has the flower icon next to someone with a 'my space' to indicate they've updated it, and it keeps getting reset as well...  Which is more annoying then bloglines being tricked because i use messenger on 3 computers and so see the flower icon on each client that I use messenger.

Not sure what is going on here either; but it's really annoying me. There was a much older message that I did go back and edit, so that was one of mine. For others (and there are lots of other peoples), I think it's always ones with pictures - especially including their pictures gallery. Not sure what's causing this.

Here's someone from the MSN Spaces team talking about the problem: http://spaces.msn.com/members/mike/Blog/cns!1pG4qKNdtRA5Nl-UhvZI_1rQ!4506.entry

Hmm... from post above. Community Server didn't parse the full spaces url fully. Then again, the spaces url is quite funky, for no real reason.
