In response to your question, see #4.
1. If I'm looking at a project and want to tell the person how much I like his/her quilt, I just post. Sometimes scroll.
2. If the person asks a question, I always read the posts. A pet peeve of mine is that so many people answer the question without checking to see if anyone else has answered it first.
3. If I want to ask the author a question, I always read the posts to see if anyone has already asked my question. Usually the answer is there and I don't have to bother the author of the post and have them repeat themselves.
4. If someone is looking for an opinion, I post before I read the other answers so I can be honest. Then, go back and read the other posts.
5. If I'm in a browsing mood, just jump around and enjoy what the ladies and gentlemen have to say!!!
Since I read through entire threads more than the average person, I find that a lot of people do not scroll through to see if the questions have been answered. Likewise, posters will ask the same question that had been answered on page 2 and they are posting on page 4. Yikes! it doesn't take that long to scroll through through a few pages. TIP: Look at the picture of the author of the thread. Next, scroll through and look for their pic again. They usually are answering some question or making additions to the original message. Saves the author time, it gets the new poster their answer quicker, and it saves time for the rest of us who actually read the posts. Giggle - not discouraging posts, please post away! I am not qualified to throw the first stone. Just sayin......
