Do you read all the posts?

[PolishedTopaz]

When responding to a thread? I do particularly when responding to someone looking for a recipe, just to ensure that I am not repeating or threepeating what someone may have alrerady suggested. How bout you?

I try to, but don't always succeed. I really don't like sitting at the computer for hours. And I don't log in every day. I, too, don't like to suggest what others already have. So I try to read all first, but don't always succeed before putting my two cents' worth in.

 

[Claire]

Oh, I do read everything when I've asked for help.

 

[Claire]

Another reason I try to read the posts? Memory. I'm not so much worried about saying something someone else already said as repeating myself, especially when a post comes up that hasn't in quite awhile. Gee, someone wants to know about cooking duck. If I don't look, it may turn out that I answered the post a month or two ago, and just don't remember!

I honestly cannot keep up. I read all of my subscribed updates first, then I scan the new topics. I wish I could though.

It's so obvious when someone doesn't read all the responses first. Unless it's one of those ongoing game things that go on and on, I really try to read all the responses. Actually, I think it's almost rude for people to not pay any attention to what was said before them, thinking their own response is all important. Jes' sayin....

I like looking at pictures, better. I hate reading. Therefore, when I reply I sometimes take things way out of context.

 

[babetoo]

pretty much

 

[Dawgluver]

I do. I'm kinda slow on the uptake, though. I respond, then often find someone else has beat me to it!

 

[Aunt Bea]

I try to, sometimes my reading comprehension is not as good as it should be and I totally miss the mark.

 

[MrsLMB]

I try to simply because if I have something to offer I don't want it to be something already posted.

Another reason is that embedded in a thread can be many great variations of a recipe and missing those can be a real loss sometimes.

Lots of great contributions on this forum and I sure love reading as many as possible !

No. There are many topics that simply don't interest me. I scan the new posts to see if anything catches my eye. I skip all of the games, movies, what did you read, watch, listen to. I skip most of the off-topic stuff, except Daily Trivia.

That said, when I do read a thread, I read the entire thread before posting. I am not inclined to add to the redundancy.

I do the same SS. I didn't mean to imply before that I read each and every thread here. I do however read all of a thread if I'm going to make a contribution.

I do that too, Kayelle. If I respond, I read everything in it.

 

[simonbaker]

I read & respond to most everything that comes my way. I find DC to be supportive & kind.

 

[taxlady]

Sometimes, even though I have been keeping up with a thread, I use the search thread, advanced to find out if I have posted to the thread. It's bad enough that I bore my RL friends with the same stories over and over, I don't need to do it on line too.

 

[PrincessFiona60]

Excalibur and I look at all the posts...

 

[Andy M.]

I read or at least skim all the posts for any tread I'm participating in. If I'm reading thread I don't respond to, such as the cat or chicken threads, I'll check in from time to time to get caught up but w may only read a few posts.

 

[Addie]

I do. Only because I sit at my computer with the TV on. So I read or type during commericals.
