Came to this page very late. But then you should be happy that I have come after almost 4 years :)

I found partial feeds quite annoying…but never thought seriously about the issues of full feeds…so the plagiarism part was news to me…As you said, it is a personal choice whether you are thinking about advertisements or copyright

Well… fair enough! I can’t argue with that, plagiarism must be pretty fustrating.

I speak only for my reasons for keeping partial feeds and the most important reason is unauthorised republishing of my posts (Many blogs are still doing it and new ones get added daily and I am fed up dealing with it). Partial or full feeds is a personal preference and there has been enough discussion for favoring either of them, and I agree with you that site advertising is a reason quoted by many partial feed users.

Every blog is different. Most of my traffic and ad clicks come via search engines. My feed readers clickthrough rate to the site is very low. I really want to publish full feeds if this plagiarism issue can be stopped.

I’m sorry but I consider it very rich you publishing this post considering you only do partial feeds, it’s as if you’re saying everyone else should do it but not you because you’re special. Considering how drenched your blog is with ads it’s pretty obvious why you dont allow full feeds.

You’re damn right, recently i found two of my posts published on another site claimed as theirs, immediately switched back to partial feed. As long as there is no way to control yor feed, no way to show complete feed, even wp plugins can show your feed in another site as a regular post, as you mentioned.
