    When you read a post, do you start reading everyone's replys or do you scroll straight to the bottom to put your two cents worth in? Me? I scroll!!

    I usually read first. Usually someone else has already said what I would say. Great minds work alike.

    depends on the topic- sometimes i read what everyone has to say- sometimes i just respond- sometimes i read what everyone says then move on without adding my (2 cents worth).

    If the poster is asking for advice or opinions, I will post without reading everyone's post first. If poster is asking a how to question, then I will read posts first to see if what I think is pertinent has already been added. I see no reason to add the same info over and over.

    I usually try to read what others have to say about the subject. Most of the time I don't need to put my 2 cents in, because someone has already posted my answer. It helps to read what others say because I learn something myself.

    it depends on the topic.

    if its an opinion poll, like which border do you like better, i just go to the bottom and voice my opinion.

    if its an advice post i read the other comments to see if there's anything i would like to add to the discussion.

    I read. I find it most annoying that 14 people will ask the same question that has already been answered because they haven't read the posts. I have almost left the board because of this annoyance. If you don't want to read, don't post.

    Scroll the first 2 pages, then if I have anything to say that hasn't been said, I post.
