Footprints on the Moon

I am about to need to buy term insurance for my sanity… (no comments from the peanut gallery on that one lol) Why, why, why…. WHY are so many people switching from a full RSS feed for their blog to a partial feed? I’m really getting frustrated because more and more of the blogs I subscribe to in Google Reader are suddenly showing up with just partial feeds. I know a lot of people do it to get more people to click over onto their blogs and inflate their stats, but that doesn’t work with me. It’s unlikely that what you’ve posted in the two and half sentences that show in my feed reader are enough for me to want to click over and read the whole thing. I’ll probably skim right past your post, and eventually I’ll take the time to go into my subscriptions and delete it entirely since I’m not reading it anyways. I don’t subscribe to partial feeds, so I find it really frustrating when a blog I was previously enjoying suddenly switches to one. I promise, if I like your post, I *will* click out of reader to come visit your site and read the comments and maybe leave one of my own. You don’t have to try and “trick” me into doing it.
