Typically I catch threads before they get that big, but if I'm first signing on for the day and there are new threads I do read them.

Only if it is something intelligent. If it is just asking everyones opinion or something, then no.

If its interesting or educational. I've read threads longer then 100 posts.

But like you said about the ricers, it gets old fast and I loose interest so I exit.

If I am really interested in the thread (and want to get intellegently involved), I do.

Sometimes (occasionally) I just reply to one post in the thread.

It is VERY OBVIOUS, the MAJORITY of repliers DO NOT read the entire thread.

Yes, I nearly always read all the way through, even larger threads than 30ish, unless it's some sort of congratulatory theme then often times I do not.

But it's true, you can tell threads are rarely read past the first post or two.

lol, I will chime in my thoughts, I usually read it is, a it is something I am interested in, or I am planning on responding, otherwise, I usually skim them, reading the longer posts

if its something really intresting i do read teh whole thing sometimes, other than that, if its just something that caught my eye, i just scan through the replies quickly, or read a few of the top.
