New threads get more attention

30 October 2009, 14:27

No, not talking about clothing.

<self referential post>Posts which start new threads get more attention than hilariously insightful and witty responses tacked onto the end of an existing thread.</self referential post>

Percentage of people that whizz right to the end of an existing thread without bothering to read the comments as they are desperate to get their own quip in (and often repeat an existing quip): 76%

You can lead a fool to wisdom but you can't make him think.

Yeah but most people don't bother reading all the posts, they just want to get their word in.

Absolutely. I never bother to read the crap that anyone else has posted.

I am also often the last commenter. This is because my comments are so witty, logical and conclusive that nobody afterwards feels they can compete on any level.
