I skim top -> bottom, read what catches my eye, skip the reply tree to posts I'm not interested in, and when I am not getting value I stop and move out, regardless of reason for not getting value (direction the discussion takes, posting quality, my mood or attention, etc). I almost never revisit later, I don't use any navigation helpers like [-] or prev/next.
