Do u try to look at those discussions that have a great number of responses?

No, I try to avoid those type of discussions. I don't want to engage to those type of cheap postings, because I prefer quality discussions. In which I tend to response of those with less responses, but with good topics to discuss.

If it is a friend's discussion, I will still respond to the discussion. However, I will not browse through the discussion as the refresh is rather slow. I only read either the first page or the page when my response was posted. I will not browse through the discussion if I saw the topic in the discussion pool while scouting for discussions to respond.

Yeah, I look at those sometimes. You can't help but wonder wow, those are alot of reponses!!! And look at it.

well not usually i choose those topics which seem more attractive....

To tell you the truth, I rarely enter discussions which already have plenty of responses because I find discussions like those a little intimidating. Sure enough, there's nothing in my subconsciousness that compels me to go to those discussions. I prefer discussions with fewer responses - I feel more secure at boards like these because I'm quite sure that my comment is seen and is read there. But all this doesnt mean that I really wont respond to a discussion with many responses - If I find a discussion really interesting, I'd comment to it regardless of the number of existing comments.

I don't respond anymore to a topic with large number of respondents. I'll just go over it, read some of the responses to pick up some ideas or thoughts.
