Serious talk here people. When you come across a 5 page topic that sprung up overnight, will you read all previous posts before submitting your own response or just "Screw it, I'm a busy man" attitude. I try to unless you're on an Israel V Muslim Country of the week topic that is bickering back and forth forever. I don't believe many others do, it seems that whenever I make a good point in a debate that it gets ignored yet when I make a joke, I get chastised for not being serious.
"screw it i'm a busy man"
I read through the whole post before replying. I don't want to be "That Guy" who says what three other people just said.
Sober enough to know what I'm doing, drunk enough to really enjoy doing it
I usally read all post and topic etc.... but for shure i prefer small topic:D
Depends, most the time I read the whole post. But some times and I mean very few times if I read something retarded I have to comment right away I do, then continue the whole post.
If it's over 3 pages then no.
Who has that kind of time?
5 pages I'm fine with, anything over 7 is a little bit much.
Whoa... Can't believe these forums are still kicking.
I will usually try to read the whole thing before posting. I even normally go back and read the 3 or 4 pages in a topic after I have posted to see if I want to respond any further or if anyone has responded to me.
Yes, if it's so long you don't have enough time to read it, then don't post.
When the topic is more than a page long, I only read the first 2 or 3 post, then read the last couple of post before posting myself.

I read the last page, If they are talking about something that isnt in the title (usually all of them) I just skip

I usually skip it, and either post on the OP or on whatever recent argument is going on.
I read every post. If the thread is already to long I don't bother participating (unless it's something I really feel strongly about).
Best approach is to read the fifth post on every third page of a given thread. That should give you a comprehensive understanding of the issues....
