I have often wondered

[RETIRED]

whether or not people read a whole thread before replying.

I often see the same or similar advice given in the longer threads.

[echnidna]

think some just like to see THEIR words on screen.

[Groggy]

I'd like to add that people should read the whole thread before replying, that's annoying too. )

......

& some times they say the same thing that the last bloke just said....

[RETIRED]

Shee Bob, let me finish. LOL

[peachapple]

[echnidna]

I voted yes but sometimes I skip over the mindless tripe
Othertimes I add mindless tripe.
Or have some of my trolls add it instead :eek: :eek: :eek:

There is also the timing issue. There will be at a given time the possibility that two or more people read the same thread, they then go off and write their replies.

This takes a different time for each person. Then they post their words and notice that someone else has also written an almost identical posting.

I myself, note if someone has replied in a manner that I would, if so, I deign to make an additional, almost identical statement, as it, to my mind, is pointless.

Seriously, I don’t usually read the whole thread. As a honest person, I don’t want to steal too much time from my employer to do my own things.

I tend to read the interesting ones (like this one) but I don’t have the patience to read the long ones because I don’t like reading very much.

Quick someone’s coming, look busy.
