Thread: Do You read the threads?

not only does the shoe fit, but he knows it!

LOL. It happened here (with Al and me) and it was MoreFFmiles on the Melville thread. So, umm, uh where did you need to go??? Btw, Jawp, how was the Halloween party and did you find the Greek hat at that place???

who knows it? Bilmin or me?

Dont worry LMV you are not in my league yet..... this "girl" just likes to pick on me .... talk about irrelevant posts.... how many times do we have to hear about her trips to Mexico... we get it --- we get it....

Thanks, Terry! Good to see you posting :)! Hope all is well with you!

Because I have a lot of work I should be doing right now, I started wondering (wandering?) how many regulars read the all the responses to a given query before posting an answer...I mean, there are times when two people will post almost identical replies within minutes of each other, which is understandable. More baffling to me is when somebody will immediately respond to an OP when the conversation has long evolved in a different direction....

Sometimes I don't, sometimes I respond to try to get the discussion back on track, and sometimes I start to respond, get distracted, and finally post it 15 min later, after others have already responded.

Ah ..... what did you just say. Oh yeah ..... okay so you take the 'Airtrain' to 'E' train at Jamaica and then switch for the BQE. But first you should read the FAQ sticky on the top of the forum. BTW ..... I hear a lot of good stuff about the Marriott and have a great trip. :) (Of course I never read the threads ..... that would just cloud my creative process)

If I reply to a post I do read the entire thread for the very reason you state. Otherwise, for me it is just a waste of time for me and the OP.

I do read the posts before I do my response. However, it sometimes takes me a while to type as some of my posts tend to be somewhat long winded. By the time I finally hit submit, there are two or three others who have snuck in under the wire. Thus, my timely post has lapsed into redundancy. Perhaps the OP should have an option as to how he or she wants the responses. Sugar and Spice, Middle of the Road, or my fave -...
