So, what's the rule, always read, or never read?
Read half, if so, what half?

There are some who read the first post and reply immediately. And there are some who read whole thing before replying. The latter are the smarter ones.

Sometimes it doesn't matter.
Its the internet. Smartness doesn't always get revealed,
or appreciated.
Often replies are based on beliefs.
And what one believes isn't necessarily so,

Read half, if so, what half? rules? who made them? who says you and i have to follow them? what if your information is good enought that it precludes the rules? (what?) a secretary of mine, back in the day, a wife of a retired air force kind of guy, always stated, "rules are for fools, and are guides for the wise." was she right? (she said her husband had learned that from his years of service to his country).

Read half, if so, what half? So as not to be influenced by what others have posted, I generally respond to the start post before I read what others had to say.

Read half, if so, what half? Always read - generally a seasoned member, or easily entertained. Never read - generally a seasoned member with a 5-digit (+) post count. Read half - anything over five pages... What half - anything in the Campfire thread... Front half - this topic might have been interesting. Back half - who's calling who a what by now?

So, why shouldnt us smart suckers skip the stupid (nodick) replys and respond to the OP with our take on he/she/its post?

This is not a countable (or credible, or creditable answer).

Never read - generally a seasoned member with a 5-digit (+) post count. I reckon that depends on the time span of the user. The Campfire has been around for many years. Some users get to those numbers in just a couple of years though...

Wabi, I read the thread before your posting. I'm not in the market for a McMillan Edge right now. Thanks for the idea of reading the thread before the post. But can you find one I'm more interested in? Thanks, Geno PS, why hasn't anyone extolled on the virtues of the .223 AI yet? Doesn't anyone read the second to the last thread also?
