I am not perfect. After generally pushing people to publish their full feeds, I myself have occasionally went against my own belief and sliced up my own feed. In my defense, it would appear that WP 2.1 did it for me whereas the older version was throwing the full feed even if a [more] tag. But no matter, I have a new plug-in that should take care of that

And… you should still see in the feed or, in the meantime, have clicked through to the rest of the post.

Why full feeds? Well, my belief was, short of serving ads [maybe bad, not always] or just being a stats whore, why wouldn’t you? Either for artistic reasons or information dissemination, your message should reach the widest audience. If you write because whatever you write about is interesting to you, it may be interesting for somebody else. And if you don’t care, then still, why not a full feed? My main goal with hackd is to inform. To instigate and propagate. So, while my political posts have all been fully released, some of the more technical ones - which, in effect, are ways that one should arm themselves for ‘the revolution’ got sliced. Not anymore! [I hope, if the plug-in works :) ]

Some argue that full feeds get aggregated without consent, that people don’t go back to the site to comment and as such a discussion is not being provoked etc. I beg to differ and, as such, am happy to make a statement that hackd will try to avoid, as much as possible, partial feeds of any kind. I know I don’t owe anything to anybody, including an explanation. It’s just that I’ve felt I was being a bit of a hypocrite by slicing my feeds.
