Do you run to, or away from, a thread with 100+ responses?
Used to read them ("100+ posts... must be something worth reading)... now have more of an attitude: time is short... skip that one...

so are you attracted like a moth to a candle by 100+ threads?

or repulsed like water on a ducks back?

3. I don't have the attention span...
it's either flame bait or one of those threads that have a lot of "me too" responses

Thats why I chill in the lounge, if any thread has over 100 replies, generally it's worth reading

8. for me, in the lounge, it is the opposite...
a big thread... unless it is a 'word play/game' thread... which is so long, generally gets skipped. Even if it is interesting I just have grown to impatient to scroll through it. THe exception being the word play/game threads that one doesn't have to read the whole thread - but can jump in anywhere and just interact from that point forward. Didn't used to skip the long lounge thread... something changed (within my du posting demeanor) along the way...
