I usually read what everyone writes, but it depends on my mood and patience level.  Sometimes I'll do what you said Chris and just read some from people like Phrosty, you, Freezy, yeti, Stacey, etc.
EC-Andrew... Sometimes if you write a whole long string of stuff or a big long paragraph or whatever, people intentionally ignore it because it's too much to read all at once.  Sometimes I'll read the first line or two of a big huge post, and unless something sparks my interest or humors me, I'll just skip over the rest of it.  Maybe try to make a stronger point with fewer words?
I know the post I just wrote was long (which is kind of hypocritical), but I was only trying to get EC-Andrew to read it, so voila.

Sex is like math:
You plus me
Minus the clothes
Divide the legs
And hope we don't multiply
Cheers to skier chicks!
We may be few and far between, but we're definitely out there!
