Anyone else do this? - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered people coming out

Does anyone else go to the Support/coming out/etc. topics and read about what the Topic Creator has to say, and scroll down, ignoring everyone else's posts to see if the TC said any thing else/adds anything to the story? I mean, you're interested in what they have to say, but not so much in other people's reaction to what they say.

Because I do. A lot.

I do it every once in a while, but only if there is some information missing or the responses are repetitious

I do something like that. I do a lot more lurking than posting here (and elsewhere). I'll read the original post, skim the responses, and look for pertinent posts. A lot of times, a follow-up from the OP qualifies, since it's not the same content.
