Do you read all the posts under the thread?

Or do you just 'reply' and not bother to read the really good stuff?

I'm curious because I find that many times, the posts are much more interesting than the news itself. We have such a diverse group of members here at the DU. Some members are my absolute favorites, like Teryang, TruthIsAll, The Professor, Daleo, Saigon68, Enraged Ape,drfemoe, NNOLHI, kskiska, kephra, seemslikeadream, marianne, mari333, jacobin, 0007, dr. doom, rocknation, medialiesdaily, concerned canuck, johnny canuck, canuck amuck, maggrwagr, upinarms, and some other canucks and SO many others (sorry if I didn't mention you, but I do appreciate you). And my favorite creative artist, Don Hakman.

However, I must admit that sometimes I'll jump to the end of the thread and post my own 2 cents worth.

There are a lot of very smart and interesting people here.

Sometimes I look to find something that just popped up on news or some op-ed I have read and wonder if any one is saying anything on it. I also hunt for things I have read and think is very important and wonder if any one has seen it.I some times send in things on E-mail.

but some of the greatest threads on DU were started in LBN and grew to awesome research pieces..here's one example:

Also some of the funniest threads are in LBN..starts out as a serious story..one Du'er makes a wise crack and then each post builds on it.

unless it's a Lounge poll or some such
