Duncan Riley chimes in with a scathing rebuke: Unfortunately once again Scoble’s obsession with himself and his inability to consider the points and perspectives of others once again sees Microsoft’s chief blogging spokesperson reflect poor, self centered judgement upon the choices of others.

Scott Milener takes my side, mostly: “Perhaps it depends on your feed reader.

Jason Salas also agrees with me, and says he has other means of generating revenue so all is not lost.

Phil Burns is totally in my camp, saying “I HATE partial text feeds,” but then goes even further than me and chides folks for not offering BOTH full and partial text feeds. Atom lets you do that explicitly, as I found out when I finally found Tim Bray’s Atom Feed earlier today.

Shhh, Phil, see when people say they for partial text feeds only what they really mean to say is “it’s all about the advertising.” I guess I’d rather be obsessed with whether a site treats me well than with whether or not my readers will see any advertising on my site.

Like James Robertson says, customers have the power.

I have 740 feeds that serve us well. Who else?
