@ mr br woodrow, i knew what you were doing, but i had to try it
Strangely people will try it even knowing it is pure nonsense. Just like people will read this post to it's end anticipating that I will explain why. No matter how much I say that this post is meaningless and has no explanation. People will continue reading it. At this point you already know that this post is not going to offer any useful contribution but you will continue to read it. This post is absolutely useless, I am not going to say anything in it. But, here you are still reading it and the fact is you would read this post to it's end no matter how long I make it. You have now wasted over a minute of time reading this and you know further reading will still be a waste of time. But, here you are still reading.

This can also be seen in real life as well, which is what you were alluding to. People know they are wasting time but will continue to waste time. People will sit hours upon hours watching television or YouTube and in the end will have derived no benefit whatsoever. Yet, they persist in wasting more time into it. It's really pitiful.

Ha!
I never read your post all the way to the end!!
Actually, I did read Woodrow's post all the way to the end - I simply cheated by posting the last sentence only.
I guess the reason is quite simple.
It depends on the person who is speaking (writing). Sometimes is becomes evident quite quickly that a post may not be worth reading to the end ...
But when the poster is generally known to be genuine and informative and knowledgeable and helpful, then it is worth reading every snippet, in the hope of finding a new nugget of wisdom!
(Just on this occasion though Woodrow let us down in our quest for wisdom! )
Peace glo
Here I stand.
I can do no other.
May God help me.
Amen.
Come, let us worship and bow down •
and kneel before the Lord our Maker
