Do You Read the Post or Only the Title

I don't leave a comment until or unless I have read the entire post. Often not until I've read all the other comments too.

Comments written without any knowledge of the content of the post can be very odd indeed. Some time ago I wrote about my childhood after WW2 and that children played in ruins then. A member commented, "Wow well playing in ruins sounds like a wonderful and magical childhood! I only got to play bloody basketball. I wish I could have played in ancient ruins !" Ancient ruins, magical childhood - my back bottom! The ruins were ten years old. I bet the member doesn't even know that there was a world war or where in the world Germany is.

I'm like you, I take time to read the post. I also have my browser in full screen, and I can still see the post while I am typing. That helps me remember what the topic was about, in case if I have to rewrite something again.

I also read the entire post unless it is really long then I scan it but that is rare.

Sometimes a title lends itself to an initial response in my head, but after reading the post I find the content is something quite different. This place is no where near as bad as some others in the past for people commenting ater reading only the title.

sometimes I do that, I will admit, not your posts, but yeah I cant say I am not guilty. then again, I dont read the titles, those are hard to see anyways

I read the whole post then make a comment. I think some people just get in a hurry so they just post based on title

@just4him,How can I respond without reading the whole post carefully?I first go through the post,understand what the initiator of the discussion intends to say and then respond.Sometimes I can't understand the post and then I leave it and and move ahead.

I read the title to decide if to go on and read the post, but when I open a discussion and I like it, I read it before leaving a comment. I have also noticed that some people only read the title.

I read the whole post and the title then respond to the whole thing.

I read the whole post and often all of the comments. I still might comment on the title or only one small part of the discussion.

it is actually unethical and not good to just comment because you just read the title of the discussion and not the entirety of the post.

I always read first then I follow the procedure

The title determines whether or not I read a post. I read the entire post so as to form a decent response.

Those that don't read the full discussion are definitely only after the money. Oh well, hope they don't get that much..haha. I do read the entire text so that i could comment correctly. It is after all a discussion website and how could you discuss when you don't even know the whole story.

I always read the full post before deciding whether to respond to it. I think that is the normal way to act on myLot; giving a reply after only reading the title or maybe the first line of a post is in my view a lack of respect towards the user who started the discussion. I would never do such a thing, but unfortunately there are people, few I guess, who think differently in this matter.

I read the post before responding.

I always read the whole post before offering a comment. I've seen comments that are obvious that the person didn't read the post

I always read before liking or commenting on posts

I always read the full, because my hobby is reading..
