Do you read the whole discussion or just the title?

If it's far too long or a subject I'm uncomfortable with, I don't read it or do anything at all.

Keep the titles as misleading as possible for extreme fun! Actually, those comments sadden me a little. I always read the whole body of discussion, maybe I skip a few words, but then some people "cheat the system", skip the whole text and just comment on the title. I enjoy comments just about the photo more.

It depends on the subject being discussed , if it is something that I like I read through it. Normally before responding i go through the entire discussion or else how can I comment ?

I write both short and long . . . you can just tell from some of those comments whether a person actually read it or not. But most times I will end my discussion with a question . . . and I can understand if people just jump directly to that question. It's all good . . . in most cases it's just nice that someone took the time to say anything at all (unless it's something way off!).

I just read the title and then leave a comment like, "Great post! Have a blessed day!"

I read what I'm interested in. Sometimes I read those discussions that my friends wrote here. And it's not worthwhile to trust the name of the discussion, it can be deceiving.

I read the whole discussion and then if I have something to add or say, I go ahead and make a comment.

@JustBhem @sabtraversa @TheHorse I've read so much in my life that I usually get the gist of a text by skimming it.

I find some of the comments are reflective of the question I asked at the end of the post. I always read the entire post. I've found that the title doesn't always have anything to do with the post itself.

you will know if the user did not read the discussion if his comment is not really related to the post. i have some discussions like that, comments unrelated to the topics.

If do not have time to read a long one and no energy to read it I may scan it and decide if want to respond or not.

I always read at least a little of the message. But sometimes they are just too long.

I noticed some replies were funny since the writers meant differently at the end of their discussion. I could only guess the readers might have been in a hurry at the time.

if its longer than i want to read, then i usually don't comment. how about you?

I always read the discussion. If it is too long for me to be able to read and engage then I move on.

If I stumble upon a discussion that is quite long, if I don't have time to read the entire thing or am just not in the mood for a lengthy read, I will at least read skim through the whole thing before I leave a comment. Comments have to be related to the discussion and shouldn't be generic ones, so can't really reply without at least skimming through it. I wouldn't want people to comment just for the sake of commenting, so I try not to do that either. Also, I found it that if the title of a discussion is a question, some people will just answer that question in the comments and not read the actual discussion.

I read the whole discussion. I am always curious

I do read the whole discussion beforecomnenting

I read the topics of discussion and if the topics interests me then I proceed .

I normally read the whole discussion before responding. if I have not time to read a longer one i skip and go to the shorter ones first then will come back for them when i have the time.
