For or against the flux RSS cut down?

We have had again and again inside these last months a debate concerning the form under which we display our articles in the flux RSS of the blog. Up to now we displayed you a flux cut down, that is articles cut in the flux RSS, and it is necessary you to open the article on the blog to show it completely.

Rather than to discuss still during several months, we told ourselves that the simplest was indeed to ask you for your opinion, faithful subscribers in the flux RSS.

    Complete flux in 100 %

    I use an aggregator as everybody to win at time in my reading and some fluxes cut down are as for them a loss of time by making me make additional clicks.

    About clicks, this can paraitre not big thing, but when GOOGLE Reader announces me more than 2700 elements read these 30 last days this tells a nice difference.

    It say, complete or cut down if the article is interesting, I would make the effort of the click.

    When tools offline in the train are used it is frustrating to fall on a cut article and to have to delay it on non-read to finish it later.

    -> in that case, have cut him down (if introduction is correct) does not tell difference.

    Personally, have to scroller of articles of 5 pages which do not interest me, makes me waste time. It is possible to use of course abbreviated keyboard, but if it is necessary to make a research on an article appeared recently, which they want to find and that answers research by key word, they also lose quite a lot of time.

    For tools offline, there, it is clear that it is a little more annoying.

    And so that debate is even shorter, is it possible to give two?

    I voted for suit. That being said, I am going very often to read the article on the site of origin, to have a correct layout.

    I think that interest to have a flux cut down (for the author of the flux) it is especially to be able to have more complete stats on the visitors, or to add advertising.

    I voted "Cut down " but with principle to have always in the part cut down the complete summary of the article.

    For my part, I think that to make two fluxes rss and give the choice to the user is the best solution.

    Cut down for my part. The aggregator allows me to sort news out fast. Suddenly, I have tendency to use rss cut down as pitch
