Question 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.

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

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.

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

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?

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

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!!

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