Do you read all the posts on a thread?

[Sigdel]

When you are wanting to post on a really long thread (100+ posts) do you read all the posts? I have noticed that a lot of statements get repeated. I am just curious...

i read the thread title. and maybe the original thread if it is concise.

otherwise... it depends.

No, I have to admit I don't. I skim and read what catches my eye.

This poll needs more choices, like "sometimes".

Yes, for the most part. I often merely skim really long posts unless they're particularly interesting, however.

Same here.

I am in the skimming group, but I think I read the majority of the posts in a thread. I try not to repeat the exact things that others have said, but sometimes what I have to say is only a little bit different. I am on the boards often enough that it isn't very often a thread gets to 100 posts without me having read it much earlier than that.

A skimmer myself.

Usually read the last page and if that interestes me enough I start working backwards to see what their talking about(Is this normal? Am I just weird?)

No vote - it depends.

If I first come to a thread after it has it three more pages and many posts are saying the same thing, I may skip to the last page or two.
