Welcome, is this thing on?

There may be some people who prefer the first paragraph of an OP to be visible. 

I am not one of them. I realize that this work does not directly generate revenue for EA/CG so optional features might be fairly low on a priority list and take time to implement. That said, I would like to be able to access a list of posts that I can run down at a glance. The paragraphs are unnecessary for me in the vast majority of cases and serve rather to get in the way of my quick assessment of whether there's anything of interest to me on a given day. 

This could mean going back to titles only, as on the CG forums. Or it could mean giving users the option of switching back and forth in their personal settings to titles-only vs. title+1stPara. 

Different people are different, so I assume that there are a good number who prefer the new system. I don't want them to lose a feature they like, but this is going to be something that discourages my participation in the forums (and I like to think that my past participation has been valuable to more than just me).
