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

    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.
