He he. Had me for a few sec (long enough for my vision to scroll down and read the warning)

But why on earth should feeds have a description?

If you got a description, then most readers will display the description instead of the article. You then have to select the article again …

This is not what I want. If I select an article in my RSS-reader I want to see the whole bloody article on the first mouseclick. Not an excerpt, not a description.
Show me the whole article and I myself will decide when to stop reading. Descriptions and excerpts only have a place for long articles (say 1000+) lines and for special cases (like a podcast).

I don’t really mind exerpts, but it’s the feeds with [No Description] that really twist my melon.

Bye bye excerpts.

Sorry, I’m bringing up an old chestnut again.
Dave Slusher has reminded me of something I must…
