Truncated posts: good, bad, or indifferent?

I’m experimenting a little with my posts … truncating some of the longer ones so that they don’t contribute to a verrryyyy looonnggg front page.

The downside is that if you come in via the home page, you need to click “Continue reading …” in order to get the full post. The upside is that if you weren’t interested in it anways, you can quickly skip to the next one. RSS feeds are still full-text, as per usual.

Any thoughts? Good, bad, or indifferent? Please let me know.
