Do you read every post in the thread or do you just skim for something you can comment on?

This, unless it's a hot topic with multiple pages.

I read all posts in a short thread, although with longer threads I tend to read the first page then the last few posts.

Gamertag: Deus Avertat

Café

Unless the thread is quite long, I try to read every post.

Yeah, that is essentially what I do.

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

Depends how much the topic at hand and the quality of the OP.

But I normally tend to read most of them.

Jack of all trades, master of none.

I start by thinking I'm going to read them all, and only read about 3.

Positive vibes.

I rarely read the comments. If I am replying to a thread, it is usually in response to something said in the original post.

Depends on the nature of the thread. If it is one that requires a simple answer, then usually no. However if there is an on going discussion, I will read the posts, so I can make an educated and on topic response.

Hello, I'm Mr AwesomePizza. I like pizza and I'm a man. Reasoning for the name. I like to listen to the classics of music, write poetry, play video games, and much much more. I'm always down for a nice chat, so please hit me up for some conversation.

I read the original post and then post my opinion on it.

Citizens of Me! The cruelty of the old Pharaoh is a thing of the past. Let a whole new wave of cruelty wash over this lazy land.

Hear the word of Pharaoh. Build unto me a statue of ridiculous proportion. One billion cubits in height......that I might be remembered for all eternity!

And be quick about it!

This is how I handle it mostly. This thread, and threads like it, I would usually not read any of the responses except for ones below the OP and ones above my reply (after posting), however I figured that someone would have articulated my reply/reading pattern already and that's what happened here.

There are a lot of variables in this.

Depends on the topic of the thread, how many posts there are, how interested I am, how lazy I'm feeling, and a slew of other things.

Checking out my profile I see?

It really depends on the thread, if it goes on for pages of course I won't. Usually I read the first 10 or so posts and then skim the rest.

  • 03.10.2012 3:34 PM PDT

Just skim through. Not on threads with a few pages though.

Trying something once will increace your chances of success, because you tried it. Try someting twice, and your chances increase yet again - seeing as you've done it. Try something a few thousand times, and your chances of success is exponentially increased; this increase would likely provide success every time

Sounds about right.

The distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success.

The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence.

As you waste your breath complaining about life, Someone out there is breathing their last. Appreciate what you have.

If you stand for nothing, you will fall for anything.

I never read threads. I reply with the first thing that comes to my mind.

Vegetable soup. See?

I came for Halo, but I heard the Tru7h, fought thru Carnage, and stayed for Bungie.

if it's slow enough, yes. Mostly I look to see if anyone has replied to my comments.
