Well I must be a weirdo then, I prefer to at the very least glance at the source before seeing opinions on the source. I do check the comments immediately afterwards because some of them are pure gold! :)
You're not alone. I scan the list of top stories, open new tabs in my browser alternating between source and comments, as many as 10 at a time. I always scan the source first for context but, like others here, generally find that the comments are more interesting.
