When answering questions on Y/A, do you read everyone else's answers before you post yours?

If there only one or two pages of them. You ask interesting questions and get too many responses to read through them, though.

Rarely.

no.

sometimes................depends on the question, or if I am TRYING for a best answer.........I want to see what I have to top....to have a decent chance of stealing the BA.

Usually. I do not want to answer a question, when someone else has given the same answer.

I do that a fair amount of the time, and if my reply pretty much mirrors what others had posted, then I usually just move on to the next question.

I do not.

That way there is zero risk of someone else's answer influencing my own.

Nope

no

Usually...And if someone says what I wanted to say I usually give them thumbs up.
