I honestly think it has to do with the lenght of the posts.
Some people just drop in here for a few minutes at a time. if posts are really long I think that people are sometimes deterred from reading them.
If the articles were summarized in a couple of sentences and a link posted I think that people would be more likely to continue the conversation because they can hendle reading a few sentences. Of course, they are not any more likely to click the link and read the article but at least the point would have been made in the summary.
Who knows maybe if the summary of the article is really interesting someone will click the link to read the article.
