Back to Front

I was wondering if anyone else here tends to read threads from the end to the beginning? I can't help it, I always check the back page to see what people are talking about, and then I follow arguments to the first page. I don't know why I do this, it just seems more interesting.

Nope, but I do the same with magazines. I start at the back and work my way to the front.

Then I'll start at the last page or next to last page.
