Read the entire thread? Or just the original post?

I am afraid that many times, I don't don't read the entire thread. Sometimes, if the discussion is really hot or the topic really interests me, I do read the entire thread. Otherwise, I just read the original post and respond to it. What about you? Do you have a 'different' way of responding to a post?

think! - think again...
If I intend to respond to the discussion, I read the entire thread to make sure that I won't repeat somebody else's response in exactly the same manner as other myLotters. It's also a way for me to be enlightened about the issue at hand with the help of the other myLotters.

I usually just reply to discussions that don't have any replies yet, but if their is post that I feel I can contribute to, then I read the whole thread because that's the rules and plus it helps prevent from saying the exact same thing as someone else. However if it's one that has more than one page I'll just read the first page and then reply.

I usually read the entire post, if I don't then I might not be interested or have gotten the jist of it. When I don't read the wholep ost usually I will not reply, I tend to read the whole contents of a users discussion and reply with what I have to say.

Certainly was interested the thing only then to speak the message ,publication their opinion,signed.if that piece of article is quite long,is agitated mood that also some.But others roughly said anything must always look,then makes the commentary only then as for not to chang the subject,makes the joke.Looks like my reply method and you are same.What is only you are worrying?

Most of the time I read the original post and a couple of the responds that were added. Just to make sure someone didn't already reply with the same responds. But I don't read the entire thing. I just started on mylot, and I only spend a little time a day on here. If I would read it all, I think I would only be able to respond to maybe one or two threads. I am gonna have to take some time and really spend more time on here.
