(this entire train of thought happened in about a minute, but it's taking me longer than that to write it out. Also, I think I got the order mixed up a bit. All well.)
So I saw a thread that I had told myself I wouldn't bother reading anymore because there's nothing interesting in it for me. I noticed that it was locked, and figured "might as well see what happened."
I'm left wondering- do I do this because I started reading the thread, and now that it's locked it has an end? I'm perfectly capable of leaving alone things which don't really have an end, but things which have and end I want to finish if I started it.
I know I do this with other threads, especially ones where I decided to stop reading because I know I'll post something I shouldn't. Do I read those because I know that I can no longer post anymore?
Or was it the first thought, "Oh, Amber locked and commented. Wonder why she locked it?" the only motivation? I actually feel a bit of disappointment when I see a locked thread and Amber isn't the last post on it. But I also know that I never have just one motivation behind anything I do...
And now my mind is starting to circle back.
