snookums Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Me....I do a bit of everything...sometimes I don't read any of it...i do what I like...in the time I have.... Does it shit you off that people don't read or follow the same style of posting as you do ? to me...its about having a few laughs or at least I try (editing is my 'passion' - the reason I walk this earth) ...

BlueGiant Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Repeating what has been said before (at least unknowingly) is a waste of time. I try to read through the thread before I post. As for others I don't really care. Repeating what has been said before (at least unknowingly) is a waste of time. I try to read through the thread before I post. As for others I don't really care.

vampyre Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 I will only start posting on a topic(generaly) if there are three or less pages. Then I read through each page to make sure I didn't miss anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gangstaknitta Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 I think it depends on the subject at hand. If it's a humorous thread, maybe I won't read everything. If it's a debate-oriented thread, then definitely. You have to know what people are saying if you're going to respond to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taphophilia Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Usually the longer threads take on a life of their own and the most recent posts don't have much to do with the original post. In that case, I'll read a couple pages back before I post. I think we all have something to contribute to the forums. Even if someone doesn't respond to my post or has something different to say right after mine, I know mine is read and taken into account, even if it's not responded to.

Amethyst Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Depends on how long and how interesting the thread is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lizard Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Depends on the topic. Sometimes..if its moved way beyond the OP, I will jump in where it is, rather than going back to the OP.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LosingMyReligion Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 As a rule I always read the original thread topic, whether or not is goes off on a tangent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalidasa Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 It really depends on the thread and how much time I have to formulate an appropriate response. But most of the time, I read the whole thread before I post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starelda Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Depends...if it's no more than 3 pages long then I tend to read all the thread before posting in it. If it's more than that then I'll read some...usually just the first page and the last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuaiDan Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Usually reading and scrolling through pages and pages drives my right hand and my eyes batshit. I usually skim just to get the gist of the conversation. We've got some monster posters on this board, whose posts are extremely time consuming to grasp in their entirety. When I see personal attacks, sometimes it turns me off from further reading, but if the topic is interesting enough, it can actually be an incentive to read further. I have no patience for cognitive dissonance/circular logic. At first sniff I scroll down to the next post. And Chef's damn 50,000 word articles he posts, while both enlightening and interesting, make me look like this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
