I am, actually. Mostly they're a very good indicator of what someone
is like *and* how seriously to take their contributions. Red-link user
page is one step above anonymous. Etc.
I could do with a few zillion less userboxes, but even those are
helpful, e.g. someone with 200 userboxes is probably a step or two
below anonymous.
I agree. How something is said on a user page can be more important
than what is said. A handful of user boxes that don't require scrolling
to see them all can have a much higher impact.
A study of the psychology of user pages could be fascinating.
