Sorry for not getting this in the thread... I can't seem to find it in
the summary buffer.

Agreed.

I don't agree with this. Being partially sighted I rely on the faces
(and the change in the voice of my tts engine) to differentiate between
things like the person's name and the title of the post in the summary
buffer and the depth of quoting in the article buffer.
I do, however, realize I am in a *very* small minority of users and that
must be taken into consideration for the greater good.
