   well you aren't filtering correctly, or targeting the correct filter. with filters you have to return a variable.

   return $something;

   if you don't (as you aren't above) then nothing will happen.

   look closely at content-extentions.php. the thematic_content filter decides whether to show full posts or excerpts.

   the function that controls what that content will actually be is called thematic_content, but that function concludes with

   echo apply_filters('thematic_post', $post);

   so the appropriate filter name is thematic_post. filters and functions are not required to have the same name, even though they commonly do in thematic.
