Odd Entries in RSS/Blogs Folders

Odd Entries in RSS/Blogs Folders
Wed, 16 Apr 2008 14:21:59 -070
I have an RSS & Blogs account in TB 2.0.0.12. Within it, I have several 
feeds resulting from CraigsList and EBay searches. Others come from 
Slickdeals and Techbargains.

I have noticed that in each of these feeds, I always seem to end up with 
one or more entries that have no subject, no sender, no content (shows 
no header either) and a date of 12/31/1969 @ 4:00PM. In some cases there 
are only 1 or 2 such entries. In other cases, there may be 50 of them.

I have tried repeatedly to delete them. When I select one or more and 
press the delete button on TB's toolbar, the entries disappear but then 
return almost immediately. Even when 50 of these entries are deleted, 
only one ever shows up in the trash folder.

I have repeatedly tried Compacting right after deleting. I have tried 
deleting the index files in the account. I have even deleted the feeds 
and recreated them. All to no avail.

This is obviously not the end of the world. But I am fairly fastidious 
about such things. So I wonder if anyone else has seen this and knows if 
anything can be done to get rid of these once and for all?

Very much sound like Indexing problem , maybe something in that rss feed 
content is triggering such odd problem .
If you have no problem then could you please share link of any such Rss 
feed which frequently shows this problem ?
