I've been using this for months now, and I was wondering how many of you know about it. It's the only way to read HN through your RSS reader. Many thanks to Nirmal Patel.
+1 for copyright violation. I'm no giant fan of copyrights, but reading content in a format actually produced by the author is the least you can do instead of mangling it up.
This was one of the ideas that lead me to make a mobile version of HN. It uses the same concept but provides a normal HN interface with a link that extracts the article text. http://toadjaw.com/hn if you wish to see or use it.
Well, I mean sites that publish their own feeds. I'd wish they'd include more than just the title in th feed. NY Times is notorious for just giving you a link after one sentence of text.
