Great answer, Mary.

Oddly enough I was just reading some blog posts recently about the debate as to whether you should have excerpts or whole posts in your feed. There were several arguments that using just an excerpt doesn't actually result in click throughs to the blog and in fact a good majority of the comments I read indicated that people often just unsubscribe to feeds that only have excerpts. They stated that having the full post in the feed will get them to read the whole post more often and THEN they go to the original blog or site to post a comment.

There were also some people who indicated that their site analytics/statistics also did not support that excerpts in the feed supported more click-throughs to the blog.

Still, a debate goes on about the issue though....
