I can only speak for myself, but assuming my experience generalizes, this means lots of people will miss out on what you have to say. Since you don’t have a prior belief that posts by you are worth reading and this post has a vague title that could be about any number of things, it makes it hard to consider it worth the time to invest in reading. So just purely from the pragmatic point of view, I estimate a summary would help get more people to read.
The irony is that EdoArad and myself have probably now spend enough time engaging with comments on this post that we could have read it, but I know I still haven’t. The comments feel valuable (chatting with a fellow forum member about possible ways to make a post better) while reading the post itself doesn’t (since there’s not even really much of a teaser to pull me in, I’m just not developing any motivation to read).
