Doesn't matter.  If the important messages aren't posted or you have to 
extract them yourself the effect is the same.

Besides that, I see no arguments why users don't.  No proof either.

Forcing a push-based method on someone who likes pull-based methods is 
evil.  The least you can do to make everybody happy, is allow pull-based 
access to the important news items, and devote some more words on how to 
disable your 'feature'.
