Oh...ok....REPLY, everyone else DIE Options

How often do you reply to a post with only reading the starting post. As in, you dont even read what otehrs said you just replied to the first post? Dont deny it, we all have done it


yes my rhyme was intended

I mean if it's there, I'm going to answer it. There isn't any high-level thinking behind it. There are topics you think about, and there are topics that are just fun. Sure there are less topics that you think about, but that's not my problem. The people who want more in depth topics should create more.

I'm the same way now, for the most part. I remember when I first starting coming here and all the driveby post type topics would really irritate me. Then at one point, I just got over it. I used to totally be a PPD Officer. I think I've mellowed out some and perhaps that has something to do with it (me not getting so irritated at the flippity topics, that is).

I don't think anyone intentionally creates topics thinking or knowing that no one is going to read most of it.

Having said that, I do read all the replies. Well, most of the time I do. Sometimes there just isn't enough time. There have also been occasions where I've taken so much time reading through an entire thread, that I don't actually post. Which is silly.

And yeah, it's subjective. A couple of examples would be that I may not be as inclined to read through 15 pages of what people were listening to, but I will more than likely read through a topic dealing with parental issues. I like seeing those perspectives, especially from the younger posters because, as a parent I am curious to see what you guys are going through with your parents. If that makes any sense.
