When you read a post, do you start reading everyone's replys or do you scroll straight to the bottom to put your two cents worth in? Me? I scroll!!

I usually read first. Usually someone else has already said what I would say. Great minds work alike.

If the poster is asking for advice or opinions, I will post without reading everyone's post first. If poster is asking a how to question, then I will read posts first to see if what I think is pertinent has already been added. I see no reason to add the same info over and over.

I usually try to read what others have to say about the subject. Most of the time I don't need to put my 2 cents in, because someone has already posted my answer. It helps to read what others say because I learn something myself.

it depends on the topic.

if its an opinion poll, like which border do you like better, i just go to the bottom and voice my opinion.

if its an advice post i read the other comments to see if there's anything i would like to add to the discussion.

I read. I find it most annoying that 14 people will ask the same question that has already been answered because they haven't read the posts. I have almost left the board because of this annoyance. If you don't want to read, don't post.

Scroll the first 2 pages, then if I have anything to say that hasn't been said, I post.

I read to see if someone has replied as I would, & if they have move on to next post.
