What happens is that I get over RSS that someone posted an interesting question that would apply to me, and...that's it. So I'm left hanging without knowing what the responses were. :-(
Now, there is a link to the 'original post' or something like that where I can see all that, but that's less than convenient, especially in my case where I'm usually viewing RSS feeds on my mobile phone.
More importantly, not having the responses in the feed means that only the original posts are searchable from within the RSS reader. So if I'm searching across all my feeds in my desktop RSS aggregator for something to do with, say, SQLConnection timeouts, then I'm missing half the discussion from the SF forums. Which is a shame due to the high quality. :-)
Thanks!
