Nice case for the full RSS feeds up there - so why are you still putting stuff "behind the fold" where it's not seen on the RSS feed?

The decision about whether to publish full-text feeds for ScienceBlogs is made above my pay grade. We've had a number of conversations about it, but for the moment, they're going with the shorter feed. Dave Munger experimented with full feeds a little while ago, and it led to fewer page views, so that's not likely to change in the immediate future.

I put stuff "below the fold" because I tend to run on a bit, and the front page starts to get really cluttered if I put all that text above the fold. I don't want to force people reading the main blog to scroll down past hundreds of lines of crap they're not interested in to get to some other topic. I do try to give a good sense of what the post is about in the above-the-fold text, though I'm not always successful.
