That is always what I hate about discussions like on HN, reddit, and the like: if you don't respond "fast" nobody will read it. By rights instead of hitting the reply button in a couple minutes I should put this reply in some queue, and review it several times over several times and then hit reply. However that means my insightful (lets assume insightful, though that isn't always a given) reply has waited until this is well off the front page and so nobody (except maybe the person I'm replying to) will notice.

Instead what I do is glance over things - but that mostly means I fix anything my spell checker has flagged. I know from experience that if less than several hours haven't passed I will not see all the things that don't make sense - they make sense in my mind and I know what I meant really meant. Several hours/days later I will see just how impossible things are to understand. (I'm now going to press that reply button, I hope this all makes sense to you..)
