Much of the time I just read the title of the thread.

The Penny Tire Test
There are several popular ways to check your tire tread depth. One easy way is the penny test. Simply insert a penny into your tire's tread groove with Lincoln's head upside down and facing you. If you can see all of Lincoln's head, your tread depth is less than 2/32 inch and it's time to replace your tires.

Took me a sec, but got it.

In general I usually try to read all the posts of threads I'm interested in. But if OP is asking for an opinion (i.e. is Mike Scott a good plumber to hire), then repeat answers are valuable. So I might just reply immediately, especially if there's lots of pages to read.

I'd like to "like" all the good replies here with no value added by my own post...haha.

BTW, people need to stop quoting the entire original post. My scrolling thumb is worn out!!

Couldn’t agree more. Frequently I’ll just reply to someone who repeated what I posted with “wish I said that——oh, I did” and give the post #

Maybe I'm doing it incorrectly but........ If I enter a thread that is several pages long I will reply as I read the thread. It would be impossible for me to go back to each comment to make my reply. I don't know how people do that. There are times when I open a thread that is say, ten pages long. I would have to jot down the post number that I want to reply to then go back through those ten pages to make my replies. Is that how you folks do it?

If someone has posed what my answer would be I just add the “thumbs up”, but if I wanted to add to their post I will hopefully add something important.

How many time do you read the same answer over and over. Correct answer to OPs post will have the same exact answer.

So is this just to improve posting numbers, or just don’t bother to read?

Some threads end up with countless pages of the same exact answers. My vote, is posters just read OPs post and hit reply, without reading the 64 posts after. Since I read all posts it becomes comical on how many repeat the same exact answers. Thoughts

Sorry. I’m the culprit. I don’t always read all responses an I respond as it hits me. Mea Culpa, Mea Maxima Culpa. I’ll just keep my opinions to myself. (Not!)

You’re ok.

I'd like a visible way to show my agreement without adding a post. It would be nice if we had both a thumbs-up and thumbs-down button with a count next to each. Maybe that would cut down on the "yeah, that's what I think too" posts.

Now THAT is a good idea!

When people do not quote the thread you are replying to it creates confusion as to what they are talking about.

Do you like it better here, or in the summer ? or do you walk to work, or bring your lunch ?

It's obvious some posters in this thread didn't understand the OP's question...

That said, I TRY to read most of the thread BEFORE responding... Occasionally I fail...

It's really not that hard to go back and respond to someone's post...

p.s- @coffeebean ...I am not so certain that there is no "P" in Lake Sumter

Am I posting on my post about not posting. Well I just finished setting 10 fence posts after eating a bowl of post toasties. As soon as I am finished with this post, I am going to place a post it in the article I reading and head
to the post office, post-haste. I must send a package out parcel post to a friend. I must end this post about posting.

P.s. @coffeebean . I think there may be "P" in Sumter
