Get your hints in headline form...

I'd like to request something opposite of this... either full-text or longer RSS entries! I know you have to pay for this site with ads, but I find the short blurb is often not enough to tell if the hint is something I already know, or if it is very insightful.

Full text would of course be nice, but how about just doubling the length?

Longer summaries would be nice but I would rather see the number of items included in the RSS feeds increased by about 2x.

Agreed! I'd love to see 20 hints at a time in the RSS.

Longer summaries and shorter hints have already been addressed by Rob previously. He has stated that a large portion of his bandwidth is used by RSS feeds and to double the size of the feed, either in entry length or in number of entries would end up doubling that bandwidth used.

The RSS feed isn't using Gzip, so that would probably be one way to shrink the bandwidth usage way down, even if the length doubled. And I wouldn't mind a short text ad at the bottom, either, if it supports the site.
