Does anyone answer questions without reading the whole thing?

Question

I have that problem...I am a skimmer and so the answer may not make since.

Answer 1

It is ok to skim as long as you absorb the important words and leave out the : the, that, so etc.... I read the entire question cause if you don't you may miss an important detail that would make your question not even fit the form. I can speed read...glad I learned it.

Answer 2

I like to read so I always read the whole thing. And I've never posted a long question.

Answer 3

I don't. I like details. I assume people are asking these questions because they'd really like to know, not just to ask it for the hell of it. It takes more than 1 sentence to make a point sometimes. Take the time to read them, you might find something interesting.

Answer 4

I get very annoyed by people who do not read the question. The bold part is not the whole question, that is just the headline to tell a basic idea what the question is about.

Answer 5

Yeah, well learn to read, not skim. But no, I ALWAYS read the whole question before answering.

Answer 6

I can tell that by the way some people answer my questions that they didn't read them right or take my meaning correctly. C'est la vie!

Answer 7

Yes sometimes...but only if I can get enough information from the main posting.

Answer 8

especially if they write too many details. If they write a whole passage, it is a bit much. I look for the questionmark. no big deal.

Answer 9

Sometimes, but I usually just skip the long ones.

Answer 10

yeah I do that all the time almost on everyone some of them are really long! don't worry I read yours!
