Too bad there wasn't a note hidden in the OP which said "don't answer the poll if you read this." I would have been interested in those results, see if anyone picked yes :p. | ||

I share the concerns of the OP, as I too have come across quite a number of posts which seem so irrelevant to the OP. In addition to that, one can only look to the times which some of those posts were posted and see that there could be no possible way that the user could have read AND responded to the OP in 2 min. This is such a common problem and something I think which should not be perpetuated by respectable TL'ers. | ||

Also if anyone ever posts a single sentence and ends it with a period, I find it highly pretentious and I just ignore that post flat out | ||

the only reason for me not to read the whole OP is, when I get either bored or pissed halfway through. I don't read the whole thread, though. Well in fact, I barely post anymore: - barely anyone reads the comments - there are so damn many people here by now, that every comment you make disappears in the masses of pages and useless answers in no time. so I actually just read, and in some rare cases (like this one... i finally get to complain about it^^) I post something. | ||

It's part of TL's war on non-contributing posts, though you can argue it's somewhat related in this thread. | ||

"I don't usually post, but when I do, I try to make it a good one." Which always includes reading the whole op and ~3 last pages of the thread if the replies are not too long, 1 page if they are. | ||

TBH what really happens is sometimes the thread title is interesting but the OP's post is long and boring. If a post grabs me in the first paragraph, I'll keep reading, but if it doesn't I'll kind of just skim over the rest and make a post. OP posts should really be succinct and/or well written. This particular OP was long, rambling, and kind of boring. If I wasn't driven by guilt due to thread title I would definitely not have read the entire post. | ||
