What should that link text be? Gawry makes a good point regarding accessibility. The page needs to make sense to someone relying on a screen reader. It is possible to instruct most screen readers just to read out the links on the page (or, as Gawry mentioned, to tab between them). In either case, links that just read 'more' are useless in that situation. The best solution that addresses this is to make the tease text the link. I wouldn't underline it if there is a lot of it in close proximity, because that will reduce legibility. Use a 'jump' bullet instead (something that visually hints at the presence of a link).
