Do you post before you read?

in Chit-Chat
Just wondering what the general rule of thumb is for most people. I personally like to read the OP then at the very least, glance over the thread for tid-bits of relevant information that may not have been included in the OP, then enter my comment.

However, I've noticed that some people read the OP, then post without reading any further.

Which are you?

    I don't even read the OP. Or the title. Just click and type most of the time. It's like Russian Roulette with hangry fitness forum people.

    If the thread is more than 3 pages long, I don't even reply to it. Otherwise, I'll read everything and decide if I have anything intelligent or clever to add.

    I just scroll through until I see a profile pic I like, then quote them.

    Depends on the dramaometer.

    If like the cheating spouse thread more is clearly to be revealed I may read all the quoted replies. I am certainly not reading every single reply to that crap.

    If on the other hand there is a clearly outlined question I feel that needs answering I'll just read OP and reply.

    I usually don't reply at all.

    It often depends on how long it takes me to read the OP.

    To clarify, I usually look for places to pop in a meme or gif, occasionally I like to drop a sarcastic comment, and I often seek out drama or derp.

    Basically what I'm saying is, I usually find the topics to post on from those that my friends have already posted on, or is it posted to?

    Depending on the post and the time available to me... both.
