Read ALL the threads? :( / Gabby is a hummingbird only for the sweet threads

[Sally, la reina]

Kevin said a while ago that unless he enters a thread early he usually stays out. That's my style too. I have a few (okay, a lot) that I participate in, but there are some threads I just don't ever enter, and I continually "mark all as read" and refresh with "my" threads.
Is that your style? Or do you try to read them all?

Every one, I never know where I will want to post a stupid comment.

[Sally, la reina]

Skillz.

[RandomAnthony]

Sooner or later I read all the threads...usually within a day or two. Even the rugby one. I don't post in them all, though.

[Sally, la reina]

Hm. Maybe I'm a bad moderator?

[RandomAnthony]

Nah. Shut up. I'm just afraid I'll miss something interesting.

[Sally, la reina]

You shut up! I get overwhelmed which outweighs my FOMS.

[Heidi]

FOMS???

I'm somewhere in the middle. I try to read all of them at least once... first. And if it doesn't catch my attention early on, I'll click as read even when I don't read it so that stupid red flag will GO AWAY.

I do the same thing with the sports, Barb.

[smetchie]

I can't read them all AND work.

[janine]

i read most of the threads. if a monster thread appears overnight i skim it. most sports threads i open and close without reading.

[Jackie "the Librarian"]

I read 'em all, even the sports ones. Those, I skim.

I try to keep up with all the threads, except the sports ones cuz I wouldn't know what I was talking about if I posted on those. But I don't post on all of them, sometimes I just don't have anything to say, other times I just won't shut up.

First, I don't know how some of you get ANY work done because there are posts all day :D I read and jump in wherever. I always read the sports because I just love sports and I get tired of discussing with the same guys at work everyday. After 15 years we all pretty much know where we stand. Love me some pop culture and water cooler topics, as well as RA's thought provoking question of the day. I think it is ironic (and refreshing) that there is not much book discussion. Some of the book centered groups are kind of snooty.

Ms. Petra, I just get online here on GR at random times when I get the chance. I don't open threads that don't interest me. I enjoy pop culture too and "water cooler" topics. I am in the Comfort Reads group too and enjoy the "Daily Chat" thread.

[RandomAnthony]

We should start more book threads...every now and then one takes off. But thanks, Petra:)

[RandomAnthony]

Also, I was offline for all of 24 hours and I'm way behind on threads. I'll catch up later.

[Sally, la reina]

Books?

[ms.petra]

those things with words inside.....

[Phoenix]

But TC has words inside too, big words, small words, even some foreign words. And it's interactive! Plus there are current events, product reviews/recommendations, spelling and grammar lessons, and pictures of body parts! Who needs to talk about books when there's all that?

I stand corrected.
