iBlogPro3 3.5.1 - Duplication of Text at top of Post

[gregory-johnson 0]

Just out of curiosity, I tried previewing the most recent White House Pro theme and noticed something odd. My posts have an excerpt in italics at the top that ends with [...] and then below the post itself begins. This was only in preview, so I just ignored it. I'm mainly interested in the iBlog theme anyway. So, today, I tried the iBlogPro3 3.5.1 and discovered that the same thing was happening. I'm guessing there's a setting to turn this off, but having it on as default seems odd. Any thoughts?

I found it! The setting is under WordPress > Appearance > iBlogPro3 Options > Pages and Posts > Disable Excerpts. So, what's the advantage of excerpts, anyway? I'm sure there's a good reason for having them as an option.
