Do you actually read the answers other people have already given before you answer?

Personally I normally will post my answer first then read the other responses unless there is like only two or three answers posted before me then I would probably read them.

I don't. The opinions that other people have given don't affect mine.

Sometimes. Sometimes the answer seems so obvious that I want to make sure I'm not adding just one more bunch of words to an already over-answered question. Sometimes I want to see if what I have to say has been said better by someone else, in which case my answer is that "so-n-so" has the best answer, and these others have pretty good ones too. And sometimes I want to see if what I have to say may add to whatever has already been said, or may be a whole new way to look at the question and provide an answer someone hasn't thought of yet. And sometimes I just go ahead and answer the question without reading the other answers, just to be sure I'm not letting what I have to say be too influenced by others. It all just depends on the moment and the question, and who it appears is asking the question. God Bless you.

This depends on the question. If it's a question I know something about I'll scan the answers to see if someone beat me to the correct one, and will pass it by. If I see gross misinformation being given to one of the more serious questions, I'll chime in to let the person asking the question know that the answers are false. If i see malicious answers I'll generally support the asker and respond to the answerer.
If I'm not in the best of moods I'll pass on the sillier questions to avoid reading or giving a sarcastic response.

Sometimes. LIke, if it's a riddle and I know the answer, I'll check to see if someone else already posted it before wasting everyone's time. But for questions like this, no.

I like to read them unless the question is something you have to try to figure out...like a riddle, or "list 5 bands that have a color in their name" or that kind of thing. Those ones I don't want to spoil for myself by reading ahead.

Nope.... I read them after but I don't want to copy anyone or see that they already stated what I want to say....
If i don't know an answer then I read the others but I don't answer the question either....
I am tooo arrogant to listen to others...

I answer first, and then go read what other people wrote and think about how stupid I sound for pretty much repeating what people already said.. oh well!

It depends. Sometimes I read the posts of others to gain insight, sometimes I just post an answer.

No, I don't look at them... although later on after I have posted my answer, I do go through other responses.

Most of the time unless there are more than 30.
