Does anyone else read threads backwards?

Whenever I read a long thread I open it to the last page, scroll to the bottom, and read it backwards. :confused: I don't know why, I just do. It makes more sense for some reason.

Anyone else do this?

Right here

edit: That's not entirely true. Usually I'll hit the OP and then jump to the last post.

I do with long threads. Mostly because I don't want to read the OP, and a few posts, respond, only to find out it has already been said.

I read long threads that way as well, no point reading 8 pages just to understand the last post.

Yes. I find it easier to read a long thread backwards. I don't know why. :confused:

Yes, I kind of do it. When people quote others, you can get the gist of what was already said several pages back.

Only with long threads, that way I can skip all the filler and jump directly to the bitchy turd-slinging flamewar conveniently nef-quoted for me.

I usually read the OP, the first 2 comments, and if the first 2 comments were boring, post my response. If the first 2 comments were interesting, I keep reading.

I usually read the first few posts then the last few posts. Then I'll get yelled at for not reading the thread after posting a response that's already been posted. :p
