I wonder...
If you reply to a post without quoting the author of it:
Do you think, and I say think because this is an unconscious decision to you, that most of the time when you click reply, it is to a post that is more interesting than average, solely because you unconsciously deem it more interesting than most?
-Rephrased en Ingles:
When you reply to a post without quoting anyone, do you think that most of the time you reply to someone who made a more interesting or funny post? Just because that the post you replied to was unconsciously more interesting to you?
Do you think that when there is no especially interesting post that you will actually (if on the first page) scroll all the way back up to the top to reply just to the OP (without quoting) just because it is the original post?
-Rephrased en ingles otra vez:
If there is no particularly interesting post, do you think you have ever scrolled all the way back up if you were on the first page just to click reply to the OP?
Please read the original non-translated paragraphs because they provide a more accurate idea of what I was talking about compared to my translated paragraphs.
-Side note:
Just to iterate again, this is about posts you DO NOT quote, it's just about which kinds of posts you think you normally hit "reply" to, but actually do not quote.
What an interesting social question. Bungie should test it out and keep track.

I don't understand what you're inquiring...
-
I like the part where you complimented the question you made up.
-
Yeah, well.... That's like... Your opinion, man.

[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okFLt9lGxlc]This thread is now about Marty and Mike's beautiful music[/url] Seriously OP, what are you trying to say?

I think he's generally talking about when you reply to the OP but click on someone else's reply button. amirite?

Marty does do fine work. Personally Tom, I think ODST has the best soundtrack in the Halo series. I'm liking Halo 4 the best right now I have to admit, but ODST's atmosphere and music? It just... cannot be beaten. The Sax, Piano, and Jazz is phenomenal.

whatchu talking bout willis?
-
I get it. I just hit reply on random people. Most of the times their posts are poopy, so maybe I have a penchant for poopy posts. Alliteration.
-
I read the OP, then the comments. If I am lazy I just quote something that I agree with or thought was clever. If there is nothing worthy of my quote button (all hail the quote button!), I just click the closest post to hit reply. I don't scroll back to the OP. (I think I answered your questions OP....)

A more interesting social question: If we're not quoting or replying to any particular post, why does anyone care who's post we hit reply on?
-
...did I pass?
-
I only reply to the last post of the page or a post that I want to quote. That's it.
-
I only click reply on posts made by mythic members.

[/quote] Interesting replies. Alright. I'll rephrase my paragraphs accordingly seeing the results, as clearly they were confusing. Well thanks for answering, but anyways I meant that without quoting, which posts did you reply to, but not quote.
-
... ...yes.
-
Sometimes. I usually will quote if I think its really worth quoting. I will sometimes reply specifically to the post I liked, without quoting it, even though it means nothing to do so. I'm not sure why.
-
One of the mods is a big fan of responding to people without quoting them; can't place my finger on which one it is, though. OT: If the social test was to see how easy it was to totally and utterly confuse and bewilder everyone reading your post... I think you have your result quite plainly. ©

Uhh... I think I know what you're asking. I usualy quote every post I reply. And if I don't, it was an accedent. I just like to make sure people know who I am talking to. Unlees it's the OP, then that's pretty obvious.
-
I won't quote sometimes if I'm responding to the OP, or there's a conversation going on between me and another member, and we post frequently enough so that our posts are close together.
-
I can not say I have received ever to function without quoting it, but if the original position, of course.
-
I don't quote people.
