How many of you actually read other people's posts before you post your own entry?

I should admit, at times, I only read one or two entries and then I post something in response. I will try to be more diligent in that regard. Will you join me in this as well?

 

well, I'm in next boat then I prefer to read beforehand!

 

Generally i never read other person post.
I just see the thread and give my opinion
on the thread.We are not here to do some
copy work,we are here general talking.

 

I do real only the first page, and write my opinion.

 

I read until I get a general feel of the thread, then post my thoughts/opinions. I do try and read most of it, but since some of the threads are 5+ pages long I usually don't read all of those.

 

I like to read people who quote each other. When there's an actual conversation happening, I figure it'll have more relevance.

 

Sometimes I read people's threads but sometimes I don't. Some threads have a lot of replies, it's unpractical to read all of their replies.

 

I think cars are good for travelling but sometimes I just prefer to walk.

 

Most of the members here don't read all posts before replying because mostly they are interested in increasing their post counts so they just respond in one or two liner sentences after reading the title of the thread whatever comes to their minds. That is the reason why the quality of the posts has really gone down in the recent months here on DP because moderators are lenient about it. Reading threads is no more fun here.

 

If the post is too long, just like that guy above me, I will not...

 

I usually read the posts. And, I usually regret it too.

 

I read only two or three post, then I post it...

 

it all depend, if I have something really want to share, I would post immediately.

 

like SuperbadIM said, after reading the crappy posts, i regret spending my time on this. i read only first 2,3 posts.

 

I generally read all posts of its small but for long threads, I generally read first 3/4 posts and last 3/4 post and than reply.

 

It depends upon the topic and most importantly on my mind. sometimes I post it by reading the 1/2 post and sometimes I post
it after reading it all. (subjects also does matter)

 

I never post without reading all the posts first, and assuming it's a big thread, as many posts I can from random pages, I did read the proxy discussion thread from the first page when I got in the proxy business, that helped me know everything I needed to start off at a decent level in the business. If it's a post asking for help and stuff, I make sure to read them all if someone's given wrong advice or if the correct response's already been posted.

 

If it is a very interesting post I read all the replies, and sometimes reply to the replier , not the original poster

 

It depends on the topic, if its interesting i immediately go for reply.otherwise i read few comments
