Partial or Full RSS Feeds

Shot a question to my Twitter followers and immediately got back a ton of mixed responses so decided to put this post together with a poll.

So - you RSS users out there. Do you prefer full or partial content of posts in feeds? Many site owners put partial content in the feeds as they want to drive traffic to their site. I'm personally not fussed about this and don't want to force users to come to the site - if they read my RSS feeds then I'm happy. Users choose they way they want to read and forcing them to do so in a particular way is not being kind to them.
Having said that, I know many prefer partial as they don't want to go through long posts.

I know that google reader comes with ability to show only the tittles but not a snippet.
Me personally prefer full as long as the post is not too long like the smashingmagazine.com posts ^^;

I've also created an email subscription service so that users can get dannychoo.com updates in their inbox which you may want to check out.
