    Question When reading a thread, do you

    I'm really curious has to how everyone reads threads here.

    You don't have to explain here if you don't want too.

    I like to read what others write so I usually read. If it's a hot topic I may read and then not post until I think it out. Others I just post without reading if it's a quick question. Confused?
    So I guess I do all 3, lol.

    I skim through all the posts because I don't want to repeat anything that anyone else has already said.

    It depends. Usually I read all the replies first...but sometimes I just reply before reading anyone else's reply.

    I usually read the first post and maybe a couple others on my way down to that quick reply box and then answer.

    I generally try to read all the posts before replying-- however if my time is limited, I might only read a few before I reply.
