I really try to follow that and check the stickies, first 30 hot posts, the entire rising board and the first 20-30 new posts. It takes like 30 seconds, keeps the board from being clogged with the same stories and allows credit where credit is due especially for newer posters. I hate seeing someone get something posted first and then an hour later the same post gets pinned. If I duplicate someone's post because I missed it, I've gone back and deleted mine if it's the identical post.
