When you answer questions in R&S?

Do you read the other answers first, or answer from your own mind, then go back and read the other answers?

I answer first, then read. Sometimes I then go back and edit my answer if I've read something I want to comment on, or something that makes me re-think my original answer. But when I edit, I leave the original answer and note what is edited.

    hey Soror,

    i usually answer first, but i do occasionally look at my contacts answers first, as they have that little thing beside them so you can see them

    sometmes i just read answers and dont answer myself depending on whats been said already and how interested the question sounded

    god i edit my answers a lot, i leave it as is too unless its wrong information then ill correct myself

    Depends on the question. I always read first, but if it's an interesting question (one that requires real thought to answer) I'll usually wait to see if someone else gives an answer similar to or better than mine. I'm lazy :). That's why I'm usually one of the last to answer. One perk of my system is that I don't get as many thumbs down as I otherwise would.

    peace

    i used to answer without looking (sometimes i still do if in a hurry) but when i can i read the others first, if the exact same viewpoint has been expressed then i may abstain and just give a star or thumbs up. there are times when it feels important to reply, even if same as others, if support is required.

    Sometimes I do sometimes I don't depends on the mood I am in.

    I Type rather slow, I am a Hunt-n-peck typer, so many of my answers are Cut-n-paste from CARM.org, Now, for the Most part I agree with Matt Slick of CARM.org on most Issues, However on others I do not agree with, His interpretation of the Scriptures concerning Eternal Security and the Gifts of the Holy Spirit I do not, Obviously He is Baptist and I am Assembly of God, We Do agree on most everything else, so to save time I do a Cut-n-paste, The Issues That I do answer on I do research them and examine them and if I agree with it I do use it.

    Depends on the question. Sometimes I read first, sometimes I write first.
