I'm just curious as to how much of the forum people read. every post? only selected categories? etc.
so here's a poll and feel free to leave comments about why:

I only read posts that invoke false dilemmas.

Well, neither. I read *most posts, but lately, with slow dial-up, I haven't been looking at the song lyrics, for example.

I'm with Anna on this one. Here in Navasota, Texas, the only Internet access I have is through a 26 kbps dial-up, which is infuriatingly slow and insists on triage of those posts selected for reading. We'll be home shortly and I expect to be ever so much happier.

I read all posts in categories other than Wordplay and Fun.
Ceci n'est pas un seing.

I find myself skipping the song lyric threads as well of late.
(an aside from a disinterested observer: I thought it had been decided at some point to post just a verse or ? and not entire frappin' songs. wouldn't a link suffice for those who want that?--I assume these are being cut and pasted anyway.)
edit: oh, and sometimes I'll go for weeks(!) without venturing below the fold.

I read almost every post, but sometimes it takes me a long while to get around to them.
The inflammatory ones I note and move on, shaking my head.
The lyrics get superficial glances mostly.
Those with dense paragraphs are often skimmed rather than scanned.
Most of my attention focuses on the Wordplay and, because ... well, it's the most fun.

I visit the forums Q&A about words, Wordplay and Fun, and Miscellany regularly and sometimes visit Weekly Themes. I almost never visit Information and announcements or Looking for (writers, speakers). I try to avoid squabbles, spats and rants, and lately have begun using the ignore feature to that end.

Not a specific category. I just browse until I find something interesting.
