Absolutely and on the web I can't think of anything more important than readability.

Lists are a great way of reducing the length of any writeup. They also make it more readable.

I found the solution — you can use the Full Text Feed plugin for WordPress: http://cavemonkey50.com/code/full-feed/ I am going to try it out now. I hate giving partial feeds.

As far as I can tell there isn't a way to. I will look for a plugin later today, maybe there is a workaround that I am just not aware of.

What you wrote is really important, i tried cutting my posts shorter with the [-more-] feature, but my RSS is cut off too. Do u know how to use that feature and have RSS feeds being full articles?

In this case (heh), I rarely practice what I preach. It's difficult to convey both sides of an argument without using hedges. That being said, I still think that they are overused especially when the writer is not confident about his/her position on a subject.

Avoiding hedges is really hard for me. I really want to give all sides, contrary views, possible exceptions.

It might be a good skill set for a tutor, but not a blogger.
