I normally just use Firefox's live bookmarks as opposed to an RSS reader (though I occasionally use Sage within Firefox), and it seems that different feeds have different numbers of items, and I know I haven't set anything. I quickly looked on the properties of one of my feeds in the live bookmark and in Sage, and didn't see how I could choose the # of items, but perhaps I missed it. In any case, it's not a crucial thing.
I hear ya. Perhaps 50 is a bit much. I suppose I should aim for the number of items that one would expect on any given day. Probably something like 25 is more reasonable for both new forum threads as well as news articles. Just be sure to check every day!

I'm working on listing all the feeds on one page. I'll post something shortly about that.
