Do People Read Stickies?

Personally, my eyes usually glaze over stickies, unless it's a specific thread that I've previously had interest in. I don't know why. Maybe it's some sort of cognitive schema that says, "That's not new content. Time to move along."

I tend to think stickies are important information I don't need to read. Fresh, exciting topics don't get stickied because genuine interest keeps them near the top of the forum. A new thread with two pages of replies says "something's happening over there." A new thread with glue all over it says "one person believes this is very important."
