 * man, I really hate posting then finding out my answer two seconds later. I had
   an error in my code (see the style in the first li tag). Once I removed “list”,
   it worked just fine:-)

 * Someone explained to me what is happening on a different forum. Since
    during
   all of my research, I didn’t see a single article/post explaining concept and
   the fact that I absolutely despise finding unanswered threads myself, let me 
   attempt to explain for anyone reading this thread in the future in hopes of finding
   an answer:
 * If you look at the source code for an RSS 2.0 feed, you’ll see under
    each entry(
   in the feed, it is referenced as an <item> element) there are two separate sets
   of elements:
 * <description>XXXX </description>
    <content:encoded>XXXX </content:encoded>
 * The first element, <description>, contains an excerpt of your entry.
    The second
   element, <content:encoded> is the raw HTML from the original source.
 * When you view an RSS 2.0 feed in a browser, just remember, certain browsers use
   certain elements, eg. IE uses content:encoded,
    Firefox uses <description>, Safari
   uses <content:encoded>, Chrome… well…
 * Seriously, it’s really that simple and I’m stunned that there are SOOO
    many 
   unanswered or poorly answered threads throughout the Internet on this topic.
 * In my case, I simply needed to specify which element to use in my XSLT
    stylesheet.
 * Hopefully this helps some people searching for answers.

 * okay. it looks like it does have something to do with my code that I used to 
   pull the feed. I’ll have to investigate this a bit more…

 * After going through many posts here (and still looking), I see that most of the
   time, the issue is to make sure the “Full Text” option is selected in Reading
   Settings. I can assure you that this is selected and I also have my Feedburner
   FeedSmith plugin deactivated to be sure that the category feed isn’t being redirected.
 * There must be something that I can do in the XSLT stylesheet or maybe the ASPX
   page that I’m writing, because if I try accomplishing the same thing using BuzzBoost,
   the full feed shows up just fine…

 * did you ever find an answer for this question? I’m wondering the same thing but
