Cutting off your post to spite your blog

Unless you’re a site that needs page views to sell ads, excerpting your RSS feed rather than publishing the full post is very poor blog etiquette.
After six years and with over 15,000 posts (and more than two million words), I guess I can claim some sort of senior status as a blogger. And I just don’t read blog posts that aren’t published in full in the RSS feeds. Too much trouble. I am not alone.
I make exceptions for people like Krugman. If you get a Nobel Prize I’ll make an exception for you.
But until then, please fix your RSS feed if it truncates.
