    I try to read every post in a thread. It's only fair to the people that wrote in it. It also ensures that I don't post what someone else has already posted. <a href="http://www.google.com/search?&q=%22That+being+said%22">T</a>hat being said, in threads with 3, 4 or more pages I will probably skim over many of the posts to save time.

    I voted yes, since you didn't include a "most of the time" option. It only makes sense to read the other posts, especially if it's a semi-serious, debate type thread where someone may have already proven wrong an argument you are about to make...which I have seen happen before. :rolleyes2. If the thread is 80 pages long before I ever see it, I generally won't post in it, because 1) I don't want to read all of those posts, and 2) what could I really add to a list of 500,000 posts? Other than to say, "Yeah, I agree....what's that you say? Saying 'I agree' is a copout...?" "I agree with that!"

    So, yeah, I also like to get in on a thread early.

    You took the words right out of my mouth, farplaner. It's quite annoying to see people make comments or 'insight' that has already been covered/dealt with and/or just really isn't necessary or ultimately off-topic...

    Anyways, here's a monkey...



    The above picture tends to remind me of some people I know....

    You killed it. T_T You do have a point though, I wasn't thinking.

    I read the important parts. But not all the posts in between.

    Most of the time no, but if the topic is interesting or the thread's really short I might. In the art forum I'll usually scroll down slowly to see any other art that might not have been in the original post.
