Even better question . Does anybody bother to read any related thread topics before posting a new thread ? I'm not talking going thru all them just skim the first page of threads ?
I generally do that 'mouse-over' thing, where you can read the first couple of lines in that tan/yellow box. 99% I make the determination to click into it or skip it. I click it usually of there's something interesting or the response is actually lenghty (detailed would be a better term), which to me shows the person cares enough to actually type something out. Not just "Help! My Trigger is sick, what to do?" The paperclip showing attachments to the thread or image addresses the in pop up box are another good way to peak interest.
Or course if days are slow at work or whatever, reading the responses and stuff to a 'bad thread' is something to do....
