[This is aimed mainly at the older regulars]
I was just reading Notable's thread from the start (a rarity) and I noticed how I seem to be skipping a load of people's posts without thinking about it. Worse, when I wanted to look back at what someone said, I spent ages finding their name because I literally gloss over it. It was as if it wasn't there.
Now, i know for certain I do this actively with threads in general. These days I only read (properly) threads by notables and about 10 regulars. Sure, I click on everything, but I usually just skim for certain subjects then have a look at the last page of replies for offerings by the aforementioned 22-ish people. This is partly because I'm a busy man and haven't got time to read crap threads/posts, but even when I WANT to waste some time I don't read topics by certain people. Maybe the Internet really DOES give you a 7-second attention span.
Does anyone else feel this way?
