Do you read all the threads???

[Michele]

I know it's a silly question, but...do you read all of the threads? I'm talking even-the-Secret-Santa-ones-and-you-aren't-playing all. We're a real chatty bunch some days...and it would take some dedication! Or do you read many, many threads, and follow all the blogs. Maybe you just read a select few blogs and most threads?

So indulge my silliness! Vote!

I read almost everything, and some days absolutely everything. You never know what you might miss if you don't!

Occasionally, I miss a thread, and I hate it when I do that, but most of the time, I read it all.

Sadly I have a compulsion - I cannot leave a thread "unread". Occasionally I just choose the "mark all threads read" if I know that I really have no interest or the content will likely annoy me. :!

I read practically everything I have access too. This site is SO addictive. Plus, I am dying to reach my magic 50 posts and I read every thread in the hopes I'll have something to contribute.

[Sheherezade]

Sadly...no. I try to scan hyper-active threads in case there's a flame war going on that needs shutting down. :> Otherwise, I just read the topics that I feel I can contribute something to - but I do check on the blogs when I have some time to sit down and read awhile.

I check in here when I check my email -5 times a day - and hit check unread threads to scan new posts.

I definitely used to, but in the past three months or so I've had to cry uncle. Now even if I'm not going to read a thread I'll usually still skim it to make sure it hasn't been hijacked onto a topic I feel compelled to put my two cents in on. This is the first time there's been threads I don't open at all, though. Feels like a big change to me!

No. I just can't keep up. This is why I come off sounding like an idiot occasionally when it comes out that I have missed a major event. Like, ah, when did Nellie say she was preggos? (Totally kidding, I was on THAT one). But I have stuck my foot in mouth because of my attempt to power read.

I'm WHAT? -

Honestly, can you imagine being one of those women who didn't know that they were knocked up until the baby started to crown? Holy moly.

Definitely a power reader who doesn't read all the posts. I usually skim at work and respond every now and then. When I'm home, I'm usually sick of looking at the computer screen so I don't look much.

[Vishenka69]

I skip some that are totally not related to me (like most of the Parenting forum). But I read almost everything.

[SuzySunshine]

I also use the "view post since last visit" - I try to keep up with all of them but if I'm in a time crunch I tend to skip the ones that are in parenting or threads that aren't applicable to me.

Since I have started working again, I am in the skim and skip camp. I just don't have the time to keep up!

I'm in the unpopular camp, with jesher and Bittersweet. I cannot leave a thread unread, even if I just skim through it if it doesn't really apply to me. I'd hate to miss something.

I read pretty much everything in the call room, marriage matters, and grand rounds, and then read selectively in the other rooms. I love erading the "kids say" threads in the parenting room--those are hilarious!!!!! I do pretty much read everyone's blogs. I wish this site had an IM or chat room too!
