It's there, in a <dc:creator> tag. My favorite RSS reader (nntp//rss 0.4 beta, http://www.methodize.org/nntprss/) displays this information in my newsreader's "From" column.

Has the responsivness of RssBandit improvided since you tried it last? Every time I try it I get fed up with the delays and switch back to SharpReader.

# Review of RSS Bandit

A good run down of the features and usability of the RSS Bandit aggregator. I think that this product has a ton of potential. Very interesting is the information that they will include a search folders feature, like are available

My short review:
I installed it. I exported my feeds from sharpreader to an opml file, imported them. Refreshed the feeds.

I clicked on 'weblogs @asp.net' feed (the mainpage feed). No messages shown in the pane, he did load messages. all other feeds are showing, not that one. It's also not that responsive (on my AMD 2600+ with 1GB mem and GF4 ti4600), and together with the inability to simply view a simple feed made me remove it directly after that. Better luck next time.
