Do you go through comments before commenting?

Sometimes I would go through comments and replies before posting mine just to make sure not to post a similar comment. Not that there is anything wrong with posting similar comments but I just try to make my content original.
For the person who published the post, it would be easier to reply to original comments and create conversations, than to repeat himself when replying to similar comments.
That of course doesn't apply to "good morning" posts, as one should expect everyone to type good morning in their comments.
Do you bother checking all the comments before posting yours?

I read the discussion....I post my comment....then I read the other comments and sometimes leave comments there as well. If I read the comments first I am less likely to leave my own comment.

@egdcltd that's how I feel about it. Does it rally matter if all the comments are similar.

Actually, I generally don't, for the same reason that you do - in case someone has published a similar comment. I like to put down my own thoughts before seeing if other people think the same, because there are quite likely to be differences. I'd check the comments afterwards, and maybe comment on some myself.

I read a few comments many times; however, don't read all of them. One reason, so I'm not repeating the person that just posted. I realize that some topics are going to have similar answers just because of the question asked by the discussion poster.

I sometimes do, I sometimes don't. :) It depends on my mood.

I do because sometimes I tried to join the discussions between comments. I love invading other people's chit chat and turn it into a three way.....damn the puns sounds weird.
