Yup, and then I reply, though often I reply before voting in the poll...

Ironically I didn't read this one before voting always

I always read it...now. There were times when I made a complete ass of myself by just failing to read the OP. And becuase I am a man who learns from my mistakes, I now read all the posts up until things start repeating itself.

Yes, and then I usually reply with a little post like this that does nothing to enrich the site or anyones life in any way, in fact I would go so far as to say that none of my posts is really worth reading and you should really go complain to the internets to get the moment of your life back that you spent reading my frankly "not very worthwhile" posts.

Yes, unless it is a thread like this, where the first post is short and the question is in the title.

Yup. and if it's less than a page or two I'll read every reply as well. Or at least quote someone to pretend like I did...

I will always read at least the question the OP is posing to us. I'll try to read all of the first post, but if its particularly long and isn't that interesting to me I'll just skim to get the main point of it. Can't say the same about links that are in the first post. I have a tendency not to read them.

You should have put "Vote the opposite of your real answer" in the OP. Then see what the voting turned out like.

Most of the time I do. Anytime i don't I lie about my vote in my post to cover up the fact that I'm pissed that I voted for something I didn't want to once I actually read more than the title.

Yup, though I was very tempted to not do so in this instance, just to spite you.

...But the notion passed.

Recently and never applying to the same thing in the same sentence... shameful. Anyway, grammar nazi'ing aside, I always read the post before voting.

Almost always, unless the thread title is about as much as I need to respond properly.

Whenever a thread like this pops up, I always want someone to put a completely different subject in the OP, so you can really see who does read it. Still hasn't happened...

Yep, 99.99% of the time, I do. Unless it's something super basic or...something like that.
