Tell the truth.
Do you read every reply to an original post before you add yours or do you skip to the end of the line?

Just curious.

1. It depends on how many replies there are.

3. Depends.
Sometimes I need to read all (or most) of the replies before I reply, other times I don't.

5. What makes the difference?
I will at the least scan every post just to see if anyone has expressed my way of thinking.

6. Well, if it's a "what's your favorite type of potato" thread
then I don't need to read the replies. But with "heavier" topics I will read most of the replies before I reply.

4. I try to read them all.
A big part of what you learn from a post come from the replies. But, if there are too many, I skip some of them.

7. A lot of the time the real meat of a thread is in the middle
If it's a topic I'm interested in I'll try and follow the entire conversation.

8. Yes.
Wait, no.



Wait...n/m.


Actually, I just reply to the OP without finishing reading the OP.

10. Depends. The one predictable thing about me is my unpredictability.
