I read majority of the comments too unless I'm in a hurry. And I've noticed the same thing. I see people commenting and they are just answering the title question. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-the-actual-post-before-commenting#post-915012 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 09:48:39 +0000 HLK208 915012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read the post but I don't always read all the comments (but I try to). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-the-actual-post-before-commenting#post-915006 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 09:47:31 +0000 808love 915006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read the post then scan the comments --but I usually just answer the title because I figure that's what the main topic is and what drew people to read it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-the-actual-post-before-commenting#post-914926 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 09:29:50 +0000 petunia354 914926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always read the post but don't always read all of the comments.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-the-actual-post-before-commenting#post-914907 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 09:25:04 +0000 mediagirl 914907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sloaneandpuffy: YES! This does happen and I never know how to respond! I responded to one the other day that was like that and I think the person who posted got annoyed at me for responding the way I did. LOL!</p> <p>Sometimes I will see the title and just respond to it. Most of the time I will read the post itself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-the-actual-post-before-commenting#post-914897 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 09:23:15 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 914897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I come into a post I have an answer to the title, but then I read the text and it's usually so much more nuanced, that I adjust my answer significantly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-the-actual-post-before-commenting#post-914874 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 09:19:02 +0000 Happygal 914874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always read the post, but I don't always read all of the previous comments made by others. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-the-actual-post-before-commenting#post-914866 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 09:16:37 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 914866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm guilty of this - that's why I always try to make it so my posts are two parters: the thread title leads into the thread body with a question/explanation/whatever. Probably drives people crazy but it makes the responses more meaningful to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-the-actual-post-before-commenting#post-914856 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 09:14:14 +0000 swurlygurl 914856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always read the post! I try to read all the comments too, but sometimes there are too many. I'll at least read the first page :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-the-actual-post-before-commenting#post-914841 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 09:11:52 +0000 Alivoo01 914841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read the post first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-the-actual-post-before-commenting#post-914801 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 08:59:43 +0000 loveisstrange 914801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always read the OP.

I mean, I always read the actual post and all the comments before commenting but sometimes, if the post title is a question, I might answer the question without saying much about the content of the post. Sometimes the title is a question but, when you read the body of the post, it's clear that the OP is talking about a personal situation and perhaps needs a bit of advice/cheering up/congratulating. Then I comment on the post body instead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-the-actual-post-before-commenting#post-914767 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 08:44:07 +0000 Caly 914767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same as @looch, I always read the post &amp; unless there's a gazillion comments, I'll read them too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-the-actual-post-before-commenting#post-914762 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 08:42:08 +0000 looch 914762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do read the post, and almost all of the responses. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-the-actual-post-before-commenting#post-914753 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 08:40:36 +0000 Adira 914753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always read the post. BUT I've noticed what you've noticed too! Some people just seem to respond to the question posed in the title and don't seem to have read the actual post! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-the-actual-post-before-commenting#post-914748 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 08:39:29 +0000 mamimami 914748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes it's confusing... like I see the title and I go in ready to answer, and the post goes in kind of a different direction! So yes, I always read the post. I hope I do. But I try to respond to both the title and the post, if that makes sense.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-the-actual-post-before-commenting#post-914745 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 08:38:59 +0000 MrsH 914745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always read the post. I'll have to look to see if I think people just look at the title. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-the-actual-post-before-commenting#post-914739 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 08:37:34 +0000 regberadaisy 914739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When you respond to a post do you always read the post before commenting or comment based on the post title?</p> <p>Some times I feel people just respond to the post title! </p>
