Default Do you read comments or only answer?

Sometimes on the forum, it appears as though many people respond to an original thread, without taking the time to read any of the answers people have already put some time into formulating. Are you guilty of this? It makes for a much more interesting discussion if people read at least some of the answers, before offering an opinion.

I'm wondering if people actually read these posts, or if they just respond.

My thoughts as well. Too many questions get answered in the same words six posts in a row and the question gets asked on a monthly basis. Maybe that is why so many people enjoy these forums. They finally get a chance to voice an opinion without being ridiculed or beat down for their views. I, for one enjoy listening to others views, even if I agree to disagree with them.

I'm thinking the same thing! Too many questions get answered over and over again on a daily basis. Maybe that is why we like these forums. We get a chance to voice an opinion without being made fun of or slammed for our views. I'm one who enjoys reading others views, even if I don't agree with them.

So what kind of firearm should I bring to protect myself camping?

It took someone mentioning that there was a recipe thread before I found out that most questions had been asked and answered. My first time participating in a forum! I don't post pictures because I haven't discovered how to do it yet.

I read the posts, but as in real life I'm prone to tangential thinking! ;-) I'm one who enjoys others points of view even if I disagree.

Hi...


I thought a forum was something the ancient Greeks had.


NOTE:

"Pathfinder", who is now posting on this forum, is NOT Pathfinder1, which is me...!!

I read the all post before I respond. However I still answer the question even if someone else has. This because I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express recently so I am an expert on every thing.
