Am I the only lazy b&stard

[Krackt420]

Woah, Woah, Woah.....waaaaaay too much text in this post.

I'd answer your question, except I couldn't be bothered to read the entire post.

Short attention span and all....

[peter12]

I will admit I am way to lazy to read long and technical posts, that means I hardly ever read Cowpersons and Lanny's simply because they are too much like my poli sci textbooks. I get enough of that at school.

No offense to you guys, because you guys are geniouses.

[Jiggy_12]

For me it all depends on the topic. if it really interests me I'll read everything that is said in the thread.

[MrMastodonFarm]

It depends. I read mostly all the Calgary Flames related stuff, especially those indepth prospect updates that various posters give now and then, I love reading that stuff. I enjoy the political threads but sometime.. oh boy, its too much, I usually just skim through those, especially when the thesis answers start coming out.

[BlackArcher101]

Yep, I'm lazy, that's why I stay away from all those extensive political posts on the OT board. Waaaaaay too much reading.

Yeah me too.

Sometimes, I'm so lazy that I'll even skip my own posts

[Bertuzzied]

Lately it seems i'm just reading the off topic forum. With nothing in the horizon for NHL hockey i've just lost all interest. Except for the Medvedev posts. hehehe. I really want to know if a big fat guy make it as a NHL goalie. I've always wondered why they don't put someone 600lbs in net and just block everything.

[Bill Bumface]

I love reading stuff like people's stories from road trips, but the political threads.. yikes. I think with all the new forums a much better split would have been made by having 'politics' instead of 'local hockey scene'.

Anyone remember NuckfaninTO or whatever his name was? Never made it through a single one of his posts.

ya me 2!

Then you're doing the right thing in not reading them.

I know cow double spaces most of his still, having like 8-20 paragraphs a post, but I just skim them, I read other peoples posts who aren't so spaced tho.

Paragraphs are your friend.

Cowperson

[Tron_fdc]

I skim almost everything. Unless I see loads of replies (quotes) to a particular post, then I go back and read it as there must have been something interesting said somewhere.....

Not the greatest method but it saves me from falling asleep during a Cowperson/Lanny argument (to which my method doesn't seem to apply as the quotes to replies often take up complete pages of text).

I also read Betruzzied's posts to see how many times he puts hehehehehe at the end of 'em (I have too much time on my hands sometimes)

hmm i guess do that quite a lot. hehe. i'm just a happy guy!

If I'm interested in the subject (which, given that I've clicked on the subject heading) I tend to read every word. I think a lot of the problems in message board debates come because lazy bas**rds don't read everything, reply, and completely miss the point, thus stirring the pot even more.

Reading is your friend!

[Flame On]

If I'm late in on a subject sometimes I'll skim a little. But the most lazy thing I'll do is not go to a link if posted in, say, a political thread and read all that. I like the summarizing about the link more so. Not exclusively but a lot..
