I prefer it when someone has read other posts before posting their own thoughts. It can sometimes give their post more integrity and depth, and I like that - especially in newer members. It gives hope that there's a chance in hell of them fitting in and sticking around for longer. I think it's nice when I see someone adding to someone else's thoughts too, or showing a different thought that starts a friendly debate.

I really hate it when someone comes out of nowhere to give their opinion without fully reading at least a couple of posts. I also hate it when someone does read someone's post and they give their opinion in a manner which leaves the original poster too scared to reply again (if they even bother to come back and read the thread).

It'll happen to me now, just watch...
