I do.
I have a system.
If bread is over 500 when I get to it, I lurk and get a 'feel' for what's going on, just reading the current bread.
Next bread, I will read notes, not all, just ones that I find relevant. Then quick scroll past the garbage to catch the bread up.
If bread is under 300 when I arrive, I read notes, moar of them. Usually next bread is about ready to go when I'm finished.
If I get here and it's between 300-500 posts. I usually scan notes, then lurk until next bread.
A lot depends on habbenings. If anons are not reading notes, they are doing this wrong.
It's where the best information is.
