Not reading the article has never stopped me from commenting!
We jest, but there is a lot of truth in what we say.
If a person were to try to read every article posted here, in its entirety, they'd never have time to comment, or even fully digest everything they're consuming.
There's just far too much information being served up, to eat it all.
This is why I like excerpts that briefly capture the most fundamental and important aspects of a story.
