How many read stickies/FAQ's?

[MALI]

I was just wondering how many of us actually read the stickies/FAQ's before we post a question?

A. I always/usually read them.

B. I never/rarely read them.

You should make this a sticky. :lol:

The options are bit extreme, we need something between those options like "sometimes".

Edit: good one there Graham :)

Could also do with a 'search' option

The options are bit extreme, we need something between those options like "sometimes".

Yes, I am aware of that. Yet, if I included sometimes, that would not bring in much of a meaningful interpretation to my original question. Besides, sometimes is such a vague and subjective word.

Everybody is either reading them always or never or sometimes. What I wanted to find out was these extremes; always / usually or never / rarely.

Thanks for the input, though.

The risk you face by only giving extreme options is that people will put themselves in the most appropriate category, which might not accurately reflect their behaviour.

[aam1234]

Or not answer at all, as I would have had I read the options carefully.

[Scottes]

I didn't answer. I almost never read the stickies, but then again I have most of them memorized, and you don't have an option for "I memorized them."

I have not voted. But I will probably HAVE to read all of them :lol:

I usually read stickies if I am asking a question that is completly new to me, but I have been on this forum so long that I usually already know what is in the stickies so don't bother to reread even though I know that some of them might have been updated.

Also sometimes I am just asking for the fun of it. (especially in general chat)

I always/usually read them

Sad to say that it is after the fact a lot of the time :confused:

[R Hardman]

Have only read the ones relevent to what I'm looking for. After that I do a search. Then I post. I usually find what I'm looking for since there is tons of info here.

I don't read them, but I do write them sometimes ;)
