I agree with you, Cinjin, in that I tend to like shorter and simpler introductions (but not too short like one or two lines). But if people want to give more info about themselves, then that's also fine.
Some members will give too little info, some will give too much info, while others will give just the right amount that you're looking for. Some people can still make an interesting intro post even though it may be a little long. Sometimes they have their own conversion stories, and that's why they may want to include it in their introduction thread instead of making another thread in the Convert's Corner section. But again, I don't really care too much about the introduction because what is more valuable to me are their future participation. Just make an introduction thread at least.
