It almost sounds like you'll "permit" writers to submit three pages, like, "I know you're all DYING to submit manuscript pages so I might as well let you," but here in the blog you say you prefer it. You might think about changing the "if you'd like to" on the submissions page to "I prefer that you," or something like that. :) The wording on the submissions page is pretty vague.

The first three pages give you more to go on than just a query, but they don't take too much time to glance over and therefore slow down submissions too much. Several agents have said to just send the first three to five pages with every query, even if they haven't been requested. Still haven't decided if it's a good idea or not.
