Read more than I post..... Alright, does anyone else have this problem? I have to read every response to every thread before I post. Of course, this eats up all my computer time and I don't get to post that much, so it's taking me forever to hit 500 posts! I try not to, I try to just read the original and reply - BUT I CAN'T do it! How do you post without reading every single response? I read pretty fast too, but 2 hours of computer time and about 4 or 5 posts, at that rate it will take me months to reach 500. Any tips would be appreciated! Windy and Lida Rose |
No real tips, I just mainly scroll down through everything and read what looks interesting. I hit 500 and didn't even know it. LOL. Now I am trying to hit 1000 and if i keep up this rate i will do it in no time. LOL |
I read the original. On my Options, I have chosen Instant Email Notification. This way, I get the responses in the email. I can read through them, and respond if needed. |
I read everything ....It seems like the few times I don't - I repeat someone ...so I try to read first all the post then answer....plus, when you read them all you catch the little in between jokes or off the wall comments... :D |

This is what makes this forum so awesome, is we all care about what everybody else has to say too. Enjoy all the posts and it will happen, your posts will grow. There is never a rush! I have learned so much by sitting back, reading everyone's posts and then reply. I am thankful for everyone's posts! :D |

That's exactly what I do.My husband hates it when I go on YT,cause he knows it takes me hours to get off. |
I read the main thread and skim through the replies. In high school, I took an advanced reading course that taught you to pick up the main words. Funny, I can skim through something very fast and by picking up a few words know what the subject is about. Then I post. |
I actually begin with the posts with the least number of reply's. I am afraid those people might be feeling lonely or unimportant. I try to avoid the ones with 5 pages of talk, except to read the first few, unless it is something I want to know about. I also like to read the personal ones about everyone - your house, your dogs. I made 500 today, easy as pie (of course, I don't cook). |
I read it through my email as well. I also read the posts, I think they are very interesting! |
I totally understand where you are coming from. I have been a member for quite awhile, but do not have a high post count due to the fact that I do more reading than posting. Many times, by the time I have read through a thread, someone has already stated what I would say, the thread has gotten heated, or I've run out of energy! Don't worry about your post count - there certainly isn't a popularity contest about who's has the most posts (at least I hope not because I would definitely lose) :p |

I type my post then i read. sometimes thats not so good because i can type the same things someone else says. i would wrater read all the posts first but i can't! wow see i'm doing it again i read the thread then came down for a post!! |
I try to read all the responses real fast, and then post. Sometimes it's hard to say something that hasn't already been said. |
Heres how I hit 500 .......I work 8-5 M-F... and we are slow!! SO guess what I do ALLLLLL dAAYYYYYY LONGGGGGG!! :D |

I have to read the replies too as it is all the opinions you get on a subject that allow you to learn more. If you only read the thread starter, it wouldn't make sense in the end. I have seen posts like that where it is obvious that they DIDN'T READ it all and their post is usually not pertinent then, and it can be frustrating to those who do read them all. Then it may be felt that it was a waste of time becasue they are not adding anything new. If you don't have anything new to add by way of knowledge or personal experience when you get to the end, you can just not add a post or quote someone and say "ditto" which saves everyone time! |

Thanks guys, I don't feel so inadequate now :rolleyes: ! I though it was just an obsession or something. I have a few loose nuts and bolts so I'm always having a 'reality check' to make sure I haven't lost any more. This is the greatest place, I don't get long on line because I have dial up and even though I have call wave I still have to get on and off all the time. I'm not that worried about 500 posts, I was more worried about having to read everything! Windy and Lida Rose |
Sometimes I read only the origianl post but I like to read the responses too.. I feel like I spend hours upon hours on here |
