Yeah, like to do most of my landings with full flaps... Oh, wait, it looks like I did not read the threat first.....
Yes, I read everything written in a thread before I formulate reply. To me, it speaks to the purpose of the whole exercise. Those who would only write, with little if any reading beforehand, would appear to me to hold that attitude that what they have to write is more important than anyone else's opinion. Happily, I often read and find that what I would have written, has been said. Unless to reinforce and support the other post, there's not much point in repeating it!
I do agree with ChrisN, that some threads are just too volumous to read everything. Though there would be important information in there, by that point, I usually won't take the time to read to get it - but I won't post either!
I suppose it's about the same as "listen before you speak"!
