Dear New York Times: Partial-text feeds suck.

So, one of my very favorite daily reads is moving to its new home at the New York Times. This should be a Good Thing. Unfortunately, responses to the announcement consist almost entirely of loyal readers congratulating the authors on the move, while at the same time indicating that they no longer wish to subscribe, on account of the Times’s lame syndication implementation.

Will someone at the Times please stop the bleeding and deliver a simple full-text feed? If your concern is that full-text feeds are going to affect your ad revenue, fear not. Most of us don’t see them now.

UPDATE1: Progress?
