I usually add some useful context in the post-body of the posts I make.
Sometimes, it’s rather apparent when someone replies (typically antagonistically) without realizing that I’ve already addressed their concern in the body of the post that they decided not to read.
Strive to be more than a knee-jerk reaction.

For articles, I dont read the post body/article*, but I will read the comments then comment (which is already rare)
For all other posts, I do read the post body + the comments.
*If the article seems interesting, I’ll read it. Usually though I dont.
