Maybe, just maybe, if they're two paragraphs and those two paragraphs summarize the article, they're fine. Meaning, none of my people complain about slashdot, since the article really is only if you want to know more, and the paragraph is enough for most of us.

I want the full text so my members can discuss the article, not leave the site! My needs are a bit different, because I'm not really and end-user but a distributor of sorts. I know there are some articles you can manually syndicate, but that's time consuming. Cutting and pasting is a waste of my time when I have a forum to run.
