I too don't subscribe to partial posts, unless the content is quite compelling. The other annoyance is that a Google Blogsearch RSS feed only returns partial posts, so full posts will be truncated anyway. Nicely put.

I'd imagine partial feeds might bring more page views in the short-term, but over time, full-feeds make your site more valuable and will help regular visitors grow and, as TechDirt says, get involved in spreading the word (social tagging / linking, sending links, linking on blogs, etc.).

I have been too lenient with Silicon republic by not unsubscribing to their feed. It takes 2 clicks to get to one of their stories(only readable on their site)which is a shame because they often have stories that I haven’t seen elsewhere. I emailed them almost a year ago about the state of their feed but alas got no response:( Definitely agree with this one.
