Do people read threads?
I have been around PPRuNe long enough even if I post less these days but still find myself wondering how many follow, or even partially follow, a thread.
I ask because in some cases it is almost as if people are determined to comment on the original question regardless of what has gone before. The current thread on zone transits is a case in point; if you distill all the posts the vast majority amount to saying the same thing.
Now I dont mind, and its nothing to do with me anyway. I also understand that people like contributing even if they have nothing knew to say - which is also fine.
I just wondered how people approach a new thread.
Do you read through the posts, do you scan read most of the posts, do you just read the last few, or do you just look at the original question or comment?
Do you like to add your thoughts, even if they are the same or very similiar to previous posts?
