STORM2K

I noticed the same thing on the TWC boards and forums, and even commented about it there as well, (on the former off-topic board there; sometime between it's existance between Wednesday, October 15th and Wednesday, February 5th).

You can't properly respond to a thread if you haven't read what had happened since your last visit.

No offense to anyone here at all on this issue. I find it interesting that this occurs. If we want to post "accurately" we should at least make an attempt to read as many posts, if not all the posts made.

I don't read every thread (topic) but I usually read every message in the topic before posting unless it's really long, or I've been there before. Sometimes people go off on tangents anyway. Did I ever tell you about my dogs.........

Ugh! I can't seem to get any of my posts straight the first time. I can't be the only member with this "problem."

Ed, that is exactly what I meant... reading every topic in a thread, not specifically every post in every thread.

I was thinking of reading every thread in terms of being a thorough member of Storm2K. I try to read every thread to see what is going on to the fullest here. When I am not online for awhile, which will happen, I will still try my hardest to read through a majority of the posts.

I will get online less often during the two week period, beginning May 27th.

LoL, Tom, I was reading your initial post differently, too...
thread vs. topic.

I don't post on all of the threads, either. If I see a topic
that interests me, I will read everyone's posts before
I comment.

I don't post in every thread (topic), either. I still read through as much as I can to see if I may want to respond to someone in particular and/or more than one person.

I don't read everything that is posted on a particular topic - just because I don't have the time and also - I don't like reading some people's posts.

But that doesn't make me a bad member for that reason.

I try to read every thread and every post! If I am going to reply to a particular thread, I do normally read all the posts pertaining to that topic (thread)

Thank you for responding, Bronwyn.

I understand Patricia. I certainly know it doesn't make you a bad member for not reading member's post.

I would assume you always do not read certain member's post.....

I just brought this issue up because sometimes I read along and a some times members of ours seem (at least) not to have followed along. I apologize for bring up yet another issue that may not be considered appropriate, for lack of a better word.

Tom I consider this topic very appropriate. So dont feel bad about bringing it up. It will be interesting to see some of the other responses

I appreciate that very much, Bron. I figured it was worth bringing up. There are a number of little issues that may actually be important when they are brought out for discussion.

If the topic seems interesting, then I will.

I try to read every post before I post. If I don't think I am going to post I only read a few, if any, posts in the topic.

yes, I read every post in a topic I am posting on, and sometimes I see post that just do not fit, like they were not following the convorsation like you said, but I just skip over them.. No biggy... I know not everyone has time to read each and every post.. It's Understandable

Like I was saying about my dogs...

ROFLMAO!!!!!!!

I usually have enough time to do read a majority, if not all the posts made here. Of course, there will be times I will not be able to do so in the attempt to catch up the best I can. I agree it is understandable not to read each and every post.

.....However, my initial point makes sense. In order to follow along with the various issues we should really read as many as we can.

I notice that sometimes a post in the game forums isn't in line correctly, even after a number of minutes have passed. The "story thread" doesn't make sense at times.

I even catch up on all the "Fun & Game" threads that I missed between logons. How about you?

How about my cats?

Time is an issue in many cases, so I read what I have time for. How about them Bucks??? But, if the topic seems interesting or people post comments that seem fitting, then I'll read them.
