 * I feel like the boy who cried wolf wolf. I hope this time I am in the right.
 * I turned debugging mode on, on the FeedWordPress plugin, and found out something
   interesting:
 * I had a feed which had an updated post in it. The result of the FeedWordPress
   was to update that feed twice, at least that’s what the debug output shows.
 * Here is the output:
 * >  Check currently scheduled feeds for new and updated posts.

 * Also, another interesting thing is that I changed the site wide setting to not
   update posts which where updated, but it still updated it. I then looked and 
   found that for this feed there was an override that said to update that feed 
   even if the site-wide update feature said not to update it.
    So the bug might
   have something to do with that (or there is a bug in the debugging output).
 * I would be glad to know if this turns out to be true.
