My most common reason for not reading a post or at least not reading it carefully enough is laziness on my part but I don't think I will change. I tend to want to get the jist of a post quickly and, regardless of the quality of the post, I skim very quickly through the longer posts.

One reason for me completely ignoring a post is that I find large paragraphs very difficult to read and quite frankly, I rarely can be bothered struggling. I have softened a little since becoming a JoeClone though - occasionally, I have noticed that a big chunk of text is due to incorrect formatting (missing line breaks, etc.) - in these instances, when I have had the time, I have edited the post to display as the writer had intended it to.
