How Often Do You Read The Original Post In A Question Based Thread?

You know the kind of thread I'm talking about, ones like this one. Ones in which the topic asks you a question. How often do you find yourself reading the original post to the actual thread in these cases before answering? The original post being the writing you're reading right now of course.

I have to say I'm fairly guilty myself of just entering and answering without even reading a single post at all, including the original post. :oops:

You should revise your opening post so that it's completely unrelated to the topic title. That way, you could see for sure who actually reads it.

Every single time. I also read every post before posting myself.

Yeah, I was thinking of asking a question and putting up an answer for it in the poll, but I figured the answer would look out of place and ominous. :lol:

Maybe that was my ploy all along! ;)

It depends. If it's too long then no and if it looks uninteresting then no. I didn't read this one for example. And it wasn't very long.themajormayor

You calling me uninteresting, punk? :x

:P

If I don't understand the question, I read the first post to see if it clarifies anything.

most of the time

I pretty much always do. Though for a really long OP, it can depend on the topic and my current level of motivation.
