Sometimes yes, sometimes no, 'Spaw. When a thread starts out on first appearance for me as having many many replies, likely as not the answer is no (some of these show up for me as being more than 100 posts the first time I see them).

I don't know about anyone else, but I don't have the time in my day to read it all (not even all of the posts to those threads in which I am very interested), so yes, I skim...sometimes I skim heavily depending on my time and the amount of posts. Sometimes I post answers to questions not knowing if it is redundant, but I post anyway in the hopes that (if it is not something previously posted) it might be of some use. I work a full time day-job, my band is fairly busy performing, and I am raising a child, so I hope you'll all forgive me for at times posting without having read the entirety of the responses. If this is a problem, however, I will try to stay out of the thread unless I have time to read the majority if not all.

...in this particular case, however, the answer is yes, I read the whole thread and I read the article that the original poster linked to. Did I miss something?
