I read as many as I can. If its a couple of pages I'll read them all (or at least all the relevent ones). If its longer or one of those list what youre listening to threads I tend just to read the bottom few or the last page or just scan etc.

By the way, I reply after reading a few posts, don't know how many, usually check the first one, then a few interesting. When the thread is new I try to read them all (when it's still DOable)... When is an old thread with 7 pages, I won't read them all..Big%20smile

I used to read all posts. Otherwise you risk to repeat something already said.
But if the topic has more than 3-4 pages I usually don't participate.

Usually just a few, and very rarely, all the posts. But actually I don't post very often on the forum, except mainly for the "What's in you CD player right now?" topic, because of the lack of time.

On some sites isn't it considered bad form to not read a whole thread first?

As few as possible. If the title isn't descriptive enough, it shouldn't warrant a coherent post.

Oh, I vote for puppies, btw.

I usually scan over a few pages to get an idea of what's going on.

Depends on the subject, how many pages and howe late I come into the thread. would say, on average I read between 5 - 10 posts. I always read some, but rarely all in a long thread.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!
