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 try to read all the thread before posting, but sometimes I just cannot resist expressing myself Then what happens after posting usually is that I read a couple of posts more and find that my post was redundant.
However, most of the threads I post in are short ones. I cannot suffer long discussions in the rules forum (if the discussion is more than a couple of pages long, it's already degenerated into a pointless rules-lawyer personal war), while long threads in the general forums usually mean I have a lot to read but not much to add.
Oh and by the way, when the thread is a poll or a question, I often prefer to answer before hearing other's opinion, so that my answer is more spontaneous and uninfluenced, althought this may mean that I may be convinced to change my mind later...
For example, I didn't read other's posts in this very thread
