When you're about to answer a question do you read every answer before or just the first couple 2 or 3?

Question

Or, do you skim and look for interesting ones

Answer 1

I answer the question first and then go back and read the answers above me.

Answer 2

I Just Answer The Question & Then Read Some Responses Afterwards...

Answer 3

I don't read any...I'm answering with what feel is the right answer, not to be influenced by others answers...If you watch, you will see how one person can totally screw up what the original question was. All it takes is one person not reading the whole thing and answering, and someone else brain being influenced by that and not the question...Its like a game of telephone....

Answer 4

Ehh....I just answer the question. I don't even look at other answers, because I don't want to give the same ideas as others. I mean, if you ask a question, if you want other peoples opinions, do you really want the same answer. I'd like a variety of answers, which is why I try to give others' a variety of answers, by not looking at other peoples answers.

Answer 5

Answer 6

i amnswer FIRST and read everyone's answer afterwards =]
