NetNewsWire hint: preventing certain feeds from going through NewsGator

Here's a cool hint I learned from Brent Simmons.

Some of the feeds I use in NetNewsWire are private feeds (code checkin notifications, support inquiries, etc.) that don't really make sense going through NewsGator. I don't want any delays from NewsGator's caching.

The "feature" in the current NetNewsWire is that if you add a feed while syncing is turned off, it won't be synced. So if you have a local feed, turn off syncing temporarily, add the feed, and then turn syncing back on.

Thanks, Brent!
