Do you read all of the posts of a thread before posting?
Alright, its time to come clean
Personally for me, if the thread has one or two pages I read all of the post before posting my own, but if its longer than that I often skip to the end to stick my nose in it
Sing, O Muse, of the rage of Achilles, of Peleus' son, murderous, man-killer, fated to die, sing of the rage that cost the Achaeans so many good men and sent so many vital, hearty souls down to the dreary House of Death. On second thought, O Muse, sing of nothing to me. I know you. I have been bound and servant to you, O Muse, you incomparable bitch. And I do not trust you, O Muse. not one little bit.

I am sickened beyond belief. The half-orc wizard is obviously the best possible PC, and I only had to read 10 pages of the book to figure it out. D&D is dead to me! -- Mike Mearls
FWIW, I'm on the design team and I pretty much find WoW as fun and interesting as banging my head against a brick wall. -- Mike Mearls
you happen to say that 4E reminds you of the reasons you decided against a career as a special-Ed teacher--noted rpg author Darrin Drader
Yes, usually. Except for this one that is really just poll. Plus it's funny not to read this one. Though I feel quite certain I'm not the first to make the joke.

Depends how long the thread is and how interesting I find it, but for anything over two pages, very rarely will I read every post. Often I'll just look for particular posters' names or search the pages for certain key words after a certain point.
When I answer polls, though, I always do so before I read the threads they're attached to.
Usually I just go through the posts and reply to the ones I feel like replying to. I either get to the end of the posts or get bored and move on to another thread. I did not read this thread before posting and there were only like 8 posts.

The number one problem with planning a character's 1-20 path is this: you're assuming the character will *have* a 1-20 path; if you can safely make that assumption, your DM is being way too easy on the PC's. Me, I'll plan for maybe a 1-3 path, and see if I last that long... - Lanefan
... Oh, this isn't an ignore list thread? Wrong joke, sorry.

Hey Houston EN Worlders! Interested in Getting together? Let's meet up and have lunch or something!
I'll read every post in a thread before responding, though I might not ready every post after that, especially if the thread devolves into an argument between two specific people in the thread.
I even read every post in a thread like this one that is a question that gets asked frequently

I will, even if it's 10+ pages long. I use firefox as my browser, so I open up tabs for people who I want to comment on their comments, and then I copy+paste their quotes into one page, respond to them all, and submit them. Damn, one of the many reasons I love this browser!
