Replying to threads

I'm pretty sure most of us aren't robots.

Are you discriminating against robots? My brother happens to be one, and I take exception to that comment!

Like others, I will read an entire thread most of the time, when it's still pretty short and there aren't twenty essays in there already. If there are fifty posts by T.G. Oskar and Zargabaath, I won't read them all, haha (<3 you two, seriously.) I'll just skim through the posts to see if someone has already said what I wanted to say, or seems to have said something intriguing/that's pissed me off that I want to address. Other times I will read the first and last page of the thread, and maybe go back if it seems like I missed something important.

My favorite people are the ones who ignore everything that's been said except for the first post. They have the most intelligent, not redundant things to add to the thread! Anyhoo...

Wuv, Yer Mom

I never learned to read, so I just randomly press buttons on my keyboard and hope that something legible appears.

Oh snap!

That depends on my mood.
If I'm in good mood, I read every post - and then decide NOT to reply to the topic, because most of the times everything I would have to say has been said already. So there wouldn't be a need for me to reply to it anymore.
When I'm in bad mood, I read a few posts and try to say something different. Sometimes I even quote posts. (But that doesn't happen often, to be honest ^^")
When I'm totally lazy, I just read the first post. But then, I also decide not to reply. When I'm lazy, I don't want to write something either.
It also depends on WHERE the thread was posted.
I certainly WON'T read every single post in a word game thread.

Oh and I of course read every post if I'm interested in the topic of the thread. Sometimes reading all the posts can be pretty interesting. :>
