The other issue with auto-cuts is that any default cut text is likely to be uninformative, if it starts from the beginning of a post. There are one or two people of my acquaintance who cut almost everything they post with the same nondescriptive text, and that is not inviting to readers.
Maybe an auto-cut would work if it cut anything after the third paragraph, like posts on blog sites often do? "Click to continue" or "More after the cut" or the like? Technically speaking, though, it wouldn't make much sense to start cutting based on line breaks, because the three "paragraphs" I've just made are certainly no sort of lengthy screed. Perhaps an auto-cut after X characters would work (cutting at the next word break)?

I personally feel like the LJ/Dreamwidth is for text. If people aren't interested in what I have to say, however long-winded I might be, then all they need to do is take me off their read-list. I wouldn't want my text cut off of my friends' read lists just because it happened to contain more than three paragraphs! | --- mystickeeper
