Hm, it looks to me like it's double posting.
Currently, the code doesn't use the Atom standard for how to detect duplicate stories, it just checks the URL. I've always gotten away with it so far, but Pubmed definitely changes the URL on articles when it updates the RSS feed, which means the bot will spam stories I think without end. Let me try to fix that and also take a look at how easy it is to get the abstract into the post content in some fairly-okay way.
I'll get back to you. But in the meantime, you might have some double posts, sorry about that.
No worries! I'll use admin powers to remove double posts for now.
Thanks for checking up on it!
