"Do you ever find yourself just ingoring people?"

[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?

I only reply to my own stuff.

Oh. HI!

I only reply to my own stuff.

To be honest, with me its more a combination of the title and the first few lines of a topic. If its a long post, about a subject i have read and repied to a lot i usually skim through it and get the jist of it. if its something new, or well written i usually read it all.

I just found myself ignoring half the posts in here, then stopping at Ants post to read it! I do this in nearly every thread. Although I usually read most of the original post.

Very strange.

well i normaly go by the subject line and always read posts by goatboy and savatt and a few others.

i don't make many of my own posts anymore as well i have nothing to say that will make a post and don't feel like posting any old crap like most people here LOL

Im like Ant, I read topics that have titles that intrest me.

I don't really ignore anybody, except spammers, such as the either imaginatively named or misspelt 'Soild Snake'. Ha. Not.

'I do often find myself ingoring people'

did someone say something?

I don't think I've ever ingored someone

Ant can you read my topic on replayability? I know it isnt an imaginative title but I am creatively spent

I don't know about ingoring, but possibly ignoring.

I tend to read topics with titles that interest me.
