So what feeds do you subscribe to? I’d be interested to know what you think is worth reading.

I would rather have the full text feeds. It offers more freedom for your readers. A full text feed reduces the requirement for the author to summarize in just a few score words.

As a side note: I now have the blog listed as one of my tabs on Firefox.

Thank you for restoring the full-text feeds!

I second Oliver’s suggestion about offering both styles, it could be a nice tradeoff for you.

I subscribed to your feed a while ago using bloglines, and since they ask you what type of feed you want, I told it to always show me the full stories. Thus, I didn’t even notice the change to summary, I kept recieving the full version of the blogs. This might be an interesting feature to keep in mind too, when deciding what to do with your feeds.

An alternative could be to offer both, a summary and full text feed as some blogs do. Personally, I prefer to read your articles in the full text feed. But I use summary feeds as well.
