Title:
Avoid reading page spam when creating feeds

Area:
feeds

Summary:
When you first create a feed account, the system reads all the entries from the RSS/Atom feed and vomits them up over your reading page. This is annoying and shouldn't happen.

Description:
The first time that a feed gets read and the feed account gets populated should be special-cased so that you don't end up having your reading page spammed when you create a feed. I'd suggest that the simplest way of doing this would be to have all but the three most recent entries marked with the date out of order/don't show on reading pages option. That way the entries would still be there so they wouldn't be picked up subsequently, but they wouldn't be spammy and annoying.
