In long posts, do you read the cliff notes at the end or the whole post?

Do you read the cliff notes or the entire thing when sombody writes a long post?

if not interesting enough for me to read the full post, i don't bother with the cliff either.

If there's cliff notes I'll use them, but if there aren't then reading the whole post isn't so bad, assuming it's no longer than a page or two.

Usually the whole post, but then again I probably have more patience than 90% of the OT population. And given my post count read a heckuva lot more than I post!

wait, what?

 

[cjgallen]

I read the whole thing, then the cliff notes. That's how you're suppose to do it, but lazy high schoolers usually just read the cliffs.

 

[nageov3t]

unless it's a YAGT or wall of text, I'll read the whole post.

 

[TwiceOver]

I'll read the first line, if that doesn't grab me and/or the formatting is crap, then I just head for cliff notes.

I don't read long posts that look like this:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. --That to secure
these rights, G
overnments are instituted among Men, deriving their just
powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the
People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such princip
les and organizing its powers in such
form, as to them shall seem most likely
to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudenc
e, indeed, will dictate that Governments long esta blished should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.
But
when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Govern
ment, and to provide new Guards for their future security. --Such h as
been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of
Government. The history of the present King of Grea t Britain is a h istory of repeated injuries
and usurpations, all h aving in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny
over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.



Seriously, learn how to format your goddamn posts properly!
