Does anyone ever read...
 
...the entire thead before they add their .02?
It drives me crazy when people throw in their opinion without reading on to see where the thread direction has gone, or worse, they never read anything but the last post and respond to that.
Just shaken my head here. :rolleyes:

Gogar 03-06-2010 05:21 PM

I usually read right before bedtime, but I've been kind of slacking lately. But I do love to read, yeah.

equality72521 03-06-2010 05:33 PM

I read the entire thread. Sometimes I get the Cliff-notes.

Embraer 03-06-2010 05:36 PM

I read the Economist today at the airport. Oh wait,....that's not what this thread was about

fintstone 03-06-2010 05:50 PM

I usually read it twice...because I just can't believe someone was actually serious when they came up with some of the crap they post.

Tobra 03-06-2010 05:54 PM

generally yes

masraum 03-06-2010 07:19 PM

Yeah, I read all of the time. I read fiction, sometimes technical manuals for work, lately I've been reading about WWI.

masraum 03-06-2010 07:21 PM

Wait, what's this thread about again?

;)

:D

crustychief 03-06-2010 07:25 PM

I read the entire thread. There are times that someone has posted exactly what was typed by a previous poster. I believe this is what you were considering when starting this thread?

herr_oberst 03-06-2010 09:39 PM

How come "Read" and "Thread" don't always rhyme?

widgeon13 03-07-2010 03:04 AM

To read the entire thread would be PC, wtf cares! Some threads actually require reading and comprehension, others just ramble, how does one tell the difference?

It is irritating but obviously, today very few people play by the rules of Hoyle. Many probably don't even recognize the name.

I have read the entire "chest" thread!!:D

I just did Castles of Steel. The good guys won....then f***ed up the peace & got to do it all over again 20 years later.

Sometimes I don't agree with Cliff so I have to chime in as well.

Anybody have any pictures of their pets?

widgeon13 03-07-2010 06:55 AM

Pack of wild dogs roaming our neighborhood, no one is safe from these "animals". They must be stopped!

sammyg2 03-07-2010 07:07 AM

I don't have time to read novels or fiction anymore, i spend a great deal of time reading technical manuals. Does that count?

PS, i hope no one else has already posted this ........

peppy 03-07-2010 07:50 AM

I have developed a filter that prevents me from reading all of the posts in a thread.

fintstone 03-07-2010 07:53 AM

I wrote/published technical articles for two journals this month...but did not read them afterward. I hope I did not repeat myself.

boba 03-07-2010 08:00 AM

How did this go downhill so fast?

Gogar 03-07-2010 08:06 AM

Going downhill is ok, but if you're going uphill be very careful because the mower can tip backward like a bobcat if you're not careful.

boba 03-07-2010 08:09 AM

I thought you were supposed to mow across the hill.

But that OK, cause we just don't have that many hills, hereabouts.

syncroid 03-07-2010 08:42 AM

Hehe :D You guys are killing me here.

DanielDudley 03-07-2010 10:26 AM

Sometimes I just respond to the original post by the original poster.

Sometimes I just respond to an individual post by an individual poster.

Sometimes I read the entire thread and make a comment.

Sometimes I will go backwards reading the last pages of a thread I have already started.

You really don't want to know what I think sometimes, regardless of how I respond, but maybe one or two people out of a hundred do. I can live with that. You can move on, no worries.

Or not.

No kidding. There are places in Texas that are so flat, you can watch your dog run away for three days. With a good pair of binoculars you can see the back of your own head!
Chuck Norris is so fast he can run around the world and punch himself in the back of the head. That's fast. I wonder if it hurts when Chuck Norris punches himself?
It would hurt regular people really bad, but he's Chuck Norris.

Jim Richards 03-07-2010 12:06 PM

Chuck Norris wouldn't be caught dead in a Toyota.

cashflyer 03-07-2010 12:13 PM

Toyota tundras are made in San Antonio, which is in Texas.
Chuck Norris was a Texas Ranger. Nuff said.

Chuck Norris was a Texas Ranger. Ford made Rangers. Chuck Norris eats Tundra for breakfast. I heard he single-handedly won WWII in the Pacific theater, and he personally beech-slapped Mr. Toyoda. Nuff said.

Ford pintos didn't actually catch fire and explode unless Chuck Norris kicked them.
Chuck didn't like pintos.

Chuck Norris did commercials for Honda because he felt sorry for them after Toyota kicked Honda's butt so bad.

I read the original post, prepare a smart-ass response, and then skim the replies to see if some other idiot has pre-empted me. In this case, there was many much low-hanging fruit, but a certain idiot beat me to it.

Jim Richards 03-08-2010 10:53 AM

Mangoes are my favorite low-hanging fruit.

island911 03-08-2010 11:00 AM

I never read the fruit labels anymore. They always say the same thing. "Organic"

Tho, I do wonder why stick a sticker on something intended to not have extra crap stuck to it. --hope no one already asked.
