Do you read the ENTIRE post when you respond to someone's post?

sometimes i read the whole thing, especially if the topic is interesting. but when there are jokes, or the like, i just post some generic replies.. such as "nice one" blah blah blah.. lol. but i do my best to read the whole post, so that at least my reply would make some sense.

On interesting discussions I read the replies. I like to read anyway and it isn't a chore because I like to hear the different view points of different individuals from different parts of the states and even of the world itself. They give me some new pointers and I like that. I like discussions that have a little meat to them. That make you think. The responses to those kind of discussions are extremely interesting.
