    [​IMG] It gets kind of tedious. Whenever those occur, I kind of don't want to post after it because so many have replied unless it is uber-interesting or :) personal :) . I suggest then posting a related topic but different to attract more attention, although I'm sure those moderators will find some way that will violate the rules.

    So, do you?

    I tend to read most posts except the ones in the random babbling thread. You generally follow a topic since the start and therefore you rarely need to read a few pages at a time but only reads the latest replies.

    Like joacquin, I tend to stay away from random babbling posts, but most of the longer ones I have read from the start anyways, so it is no big deal.

    I usualy just browse through them, to see if I can find something worth reading. I rarely read a topic completely.

    I usually don't read topics with only one or two or four replies, unless it's called something like "THE SECRET OF LIFE REVEALED HERE" or whatever. I perfer big ones.

    Besides, if we started a clone topic every time the original was longer than a page, Tal would kill us in our sleep.

    I read the thread first (length not mattering as much as say what's being discussed) and then decide if I want to post a reply on it (for example, I read all of the replies posted on this thread, decided that it wouldn't hurt me to post something here, and now everyone is reading this.)
