What is it that draws you to a particular thread.
Some poster are ubiquitous while others only do walk on bits. What is it that draws you into a thread and furthermore, what keeps you coming back for more?

I like the threads that have controversial topics. I get a bowl of pop corn, a beer, relax and watch the flames fly.

Usually title or author. Someties the combination.
Hotbutton product discussions.
Flame fests for entertainment - based on title.
I pass on threads that are out to 4+ pages before I have had a chance to start reading it. I just don't have the time anymore.

should have allowed multiple selections.
Usually thread title but a lot of times ill see an author and click it since some people here actually make useful informative posts.

You poll has too many choices.
I doubt if even half of the BF brain-trust can read a poll with more than three choices, let alone understand most of the words in said poll...

When I first started here I was just into getting the bike and getting fit right...so most of what I read was related to that...figured it was the place to start. Now that I have the bike, feel like I have the fit pretty much nailed down I tend to look at the threads that are performance/training/technique related.
I guess what I zero in on is more related to my need at the moment than anything else.
One exception is any thread started by pcad. They get read regardless of subject.
