In the world of blogging is there anything worse than the words Read More?
 
Read More usually follows an abbreviated version of a blog post. You, the reader, are expected to click those words, and wait for the page to reload so you can actually read the entire article.  Never mind that you were already actually trying to read the article.
 
Now, I understand that there can be a few different reasons to use the Read More method of blogging, but really?  Really, is it necessary to make it more time consuming and difficult for someone to read the content you've put out there?  You should be happy I'm attempting to read what you wrote to begin with.  Why would you want to make it more work for me? Think about it?

    Yup. Most annoying is partial posts in RSS feeds for non-commercial sites.
