Do you post a reply before reading the responses?

I try to write my response, then check the replies. I just don't want to be influenced by what other people say but realize it can be really tacky to just add a reply. Sometimes the conversation has taken a turn or info has been added that clarify the OP.

Now I try to check the replies before posting. Am I the only one?

I generally read the replies first or most of them anyway. When it comes to Disney experiences. But I don't think its it bad to just post without reading the others.

If they are looking for an opinion I do not read the replies until after I give mine. If they are looking for an answer to a question I will see if it was answered before I reply.

I try to read all the replies. I like to hear what others have to say. I've been known to go back after I've posted my reply to read what people have written after I made my post. I think people are interesting and cool and I like various opinions and points of view!

I usually read through the responses before posting one - I like to see what others have to say, and also I want to make sure I have noticed any updates from the original poster, etc. As for opinions - I don't think reading others influences my own - but maybe it does and I don't realize it Good point, though!

Uh oh... I think I'm a guilty "no read" person. I tend to respond first, then read... particularly if it's more than one page; however, like most of you, if it's a question I tend to scroll down at least a bit, to make sure that the way I'd answer it is in there somewhere.

Just depends on the question. Sometimes I will read just a few answers, sometimes all the answers, and sometimes I will read after I have posted.

Always. I'll admit to being annoyed when I read a post that appears to have been composed without reading the whole thread, too. Just seems to me that with a long thread, you should take the time to read through and make sure you're not repeating something that's been said 10 times or ignoring an update made by the OP. But I'm a stickler for good netiquette.

Depends on the type of question, as Bob said. If it's just a SQOTD or "what's your favorite" , I just respond.

If it's an opinion or asking for advice, I usually read the responses
