That is a feature of the individual feeds. People who are sending entry snippets are choosing to send entry snippets.

FWIW -- I much prefer full length entries in aggregators.

Looking at the example link you provided, it is more than that - auto
generated content doesn't fit with the rest of the content there.
Making it only one or two lines / day would certainly make it easier
on the eyes, but it doesn't make it less inappropriate.
It's a bit like stapling together a printout of /var/log/messages and
sticking it on the shelf along with the crime novels ;)

But on the general topic of verbosity, it seems wrong to me that some
entries are there in their entirety and others are only a short summary.
It would be much nice if only the summary, or something like a couple
of lines were shown - instead of having posting that vary from one or
two lines to several pages.
