I found the code (but not the reason) why I am getting the error:
  
  The code is:
  
            raise  SimpleRSSError, "Poorly formatted feed" unless @source =~  %r{<(channel|feed).*?>.*?</(channel|feed)>}mi
  
  However, I have even tried the example slashdot.rdf but to no avail?
  
  Any assistance is appreciated.

  "Poorly formatted feed"
  
  I have tried "well formatted" RSS 0.91, 0.92 and 2.0 feeds  but to no avail.
  
  Can anyone please come to my rescue? 
  
  Thanks
