Effluence of posts; the fundamentals of successfully maintaining a thread

Do you ever read threads of great length? Or just skim the beginning and then read the end? Or just read what people reply?

Just wondering...

I read the whole thread.
These last few weeks I'd be off for a whyle and have an hour or more reading just to catch on what was happening.

If its long and I have a interest in the topic I'll read it. But if its long and the grammer isn't right to make it readable I won't.

I usually read the first 4 or so, and the last 3 or so, then I begin typing my message. Then I look backwards, and read everything else on this page to make sure what i have to say makes sense. Then I click Submit Reply.

I read everything, but a lot of time the way some members can praddle on incoherently just sickens me so I often wish I didn't.

I usually read the entire thread, ESPECIALLY if its a poem, mad lib, or story.

And the longer the thread, if its not a story or something aesthetic, the faster i read it. this sometimes results in fairly incoherent replies that i'd have to end up correcting

DC: so THATS why you complained about my 2nd rant. not that i put much thought into them, the rants arent in much seriousness
