Poll: How do you guys approach reading semi-long threads? (40-50+)

[Sheepathon]

It seems like a lot of threads that get big end up having a ton of posts at the end that are totally unnecessary or irrelevant because what they talk about was already answered earlier. How do you guys browse?

I read it all, with the exception of quoted stuff with 3+ levels. If you were a REAL geek, it wouldn't be a problem since you would not have been away from ATOT long enough for it to accumulate.

Mostly Skim.

I read the titles.

If the OP is short <3 paragraphs, I'll read that.

Afterwards I'll skim the first few posts.

If those are interesting, I'll read the rest. If not, I'll just skip to the last 10 posts, read those, and then post or get out of the thread

I read until I see /thread.

/thread

If it's interesting, I'll read it all. If it's not, I'll close it. I never skip to the end unless it's to check replies since I last read or in Hot Deals.

Quite often, if a thread has a lot of replies (like 100) I automatically assume it is worthless and don't even open it.

Wonder what thread you're talking about.

I usually just read it all.
