I often read the first page, then go to the last page.

Now I understand a little more about how you manage to make your omnipresence seem so effortless. ;)
Actually, I'd just read the last few comments and only go back to understand the context. But I'm not here to read, I'm here to help.



Hmmm... I never thought I might be consuming differently than (some) others in here. I think I spend more time producing than consuming. I don't try and read Gold threads from start to finish. I don't trawl the 50 (now 100) list of more recently edited threads for something to read. I login in to see if there's anyone I can help, then I log out again. I do it many times a day, when I have a free moment, or as a break from analytical work.

I'm not gonna lie, I also do it to get to "inbox zero". If I don't log in a few times a day I can't keep on top of the alerts.

And I'm also a mod so I'm checking there's no alerts or craziness that needs dealt with.


Here's the order of what I do when I log in:
  1. Check PMs and reply quickly.
  2. Check Mod alerts. Act if required.
  3. Check personal alerts. Act if required.
  4. Check news feed (notifications of what people I follow are liking or creating). Act if required.
  5. Log out.


When I write something I invariably end up editing it a few times, but it's mostly a stream of conciousness.

The VAST majority of my replies are created on my phone.

Here's a long thread I created a few days ago that took me the best part of an hour to write on my phone, on a coach to the airport at 6:30am:
It's one sentence written after another, after another. I can't do much rearranging of the content because I'm writing on my phone and that's too much of a PITA. It suits the way I write, and I daresay it's helped me to write in one go and only go back to edit typos, grammar, and flow.
