A friend mentioned they were going to add Christopher Buckley to their RSS feed today. I did not know who he was, but since my friend has good judgement, I decided to add him to my feeds which I manage through google reader. No big deal, except the feeds are partial; as below.

I don't care enough about Christopher Buckley to click through to his website so I will ignore his RSS feed and most likely remove it soon because I never read it. If the RSS feeds contained full articles then I would read the odd one and if he caught my interest enough click through to his website.

This is pretty much how I operate, the very interesting writers, for some reason, I will read their words on their pages. The ho-hum, or the ones I am kinda/sorta interested in, or in passing, I will not. However, with a snipped RSS feed I don't even get to the ho-hum stage. It doesn't promote the behaviour in me that the publisher wants at all - ie click through to their website. (reply)

I try to read as many Hansards as possible but when it becomes hard to do, or a hassle, I don't bother. PDF is a very inconvenient form to read through a browser. The native rendering format of a browser is HTML. It would be great if all the Hansards were in HTML first with the option for PDF. (more)
