    I reply before I read the posts, otherwise if I see someone else has already said what I would have I don't reply. Sometimes I cheat and copy their post if I agree with it. Maybe that's not cheating, at least the person know's someone else liked what they saw.

    I just jump in and reply and then read! Yes, I usually find that I have echoed someone! :-D :oops: :-D ;-)

    I find that lately if I read a post that only has a page or two in replys, I'm definately going to post. We each work very hard on our quilts no matter what our skill level is,and deserve to know we looked. As for questions asked, I read thru them and if I have something different to say, I will. On those that have many pages of posts, I might read them and not leave a post. Sometimes I'm very short on time, and have to come back to it later.

    Usually I try to read a few on the first page and then scroll to the bottom to comment. Then sometimes I feel lilke a fool because I haven't read the whole thing before commenting. :oops:

    When I do happen to read the whole thread before commenting, I will find a comment that expresses my sentiments, I'll just not comment. Sometimes I just do a ditto.

    Sometimes time constraints prevent a person from reading all the posts. Sometimes you just get tired of reading the same thing over and over and over.

    usually depends on how much time I have. Sometimes I will comment at the end of the first page. Sometimes I will read all pages and never comment. I guess it depends on the subject and my mood. LOL!!!

    Ii read all according to the subject. I don't always reply and sometime I don't read all the responses. Once I read one that has my response I stop.
