Do you give your own answers or read others first and go with what they say?

Question

And if you see someone has posted the same exact answer do you go back and change your wording or do ya just go with the same answer....

Answer 1

I read others so that I don't reiterate the same things. There is no point in being redundant. I just don't like repeating others. I just wanna be original, ya know?

Answer 2

I give my own answer first and if the question is interesting I then read what others have said. I never change my answer just because someone else has the same wording.

Answer 3

I like mine to be unpolluted, so I pop off with what I hope to be the best, then look at the others. If other people say the same thing, oh well I get 2 points anyway.

If the other answers are particularly abusive and hateful I add a little line chiding them gently for being such childish buttmunches.( And childish is much worse that child-like. ) But not in those exact words.

Answer 4

I always give my answer first and then I'll go back and read other people's answers. If someone else answered similarly then so be it. That's if it's an opinion question. If it's a question to where there's a right or wrong answer and several people have already given the correct answer then I usually won't bother to answer it.

Answer 5

I'm not going to lie. Most of the time i read everybody else's answer first, but i always give my own responses. i do not know anybody on here, so why would i care what they type and then have there answer change my opinion. If people do use other ppl answers that is real sad.

Answer 6

It's sort-of like pointless to answer the same way that everyone else does but with some questions there is usually only one correct answer. On other questions there is no correct answer--like this one of yours. Most of the time you either know the answer or you don't. I usually don't want my attempted answer to be influenced by others so I don't peek ahead.

Answer 7

I usually give my own answer and then read the others. Sometimes if it's the same as another I'll edit mine by adding a comment about my slow dial-up.

Answer 8

I usually give my own answer and then read everyone else's answer. Sometimes if it is a question that I don't want to answer, I just vote for the one I like the best.

Answer 9

i give my answer first and then see what others have posted.
no..I don't change it back if someone posted the same answer

Answer 10

I write my response first, then I read the others' answers. If someone has already used my answer, I don't change mine, but I do hope that people don't think I copied theirs.
