I want to be able to skim my feeds in seconds and only read the full articles for the 1% of the news I actually care to read about. For the rest, a 2-3 sentence snippet is more than enough. (Google Reader's List View is nice, but usually a bit too concise for my taste.) I hate to see you drop Ars which I consider easily the best tech news site around. They actually write original content and do original research unlike the press-release-reprinters at major news outlets. I don’t mind snippets, and actually prefer them for news sites.
