I almost never do so when verbally communicating (only when I post in forums), and I can't recall the last time someone reminded me that it was only my opinion or I should not be stating something like it was fact.
Not everyone is a pro or regular on forums or online communities and some/many people type how they would talk normally. I try to keep this in mind when reading other people's posts and try not to assume the worst.

"In my opinion"? Not so much, no. But in conversations I do say:
I think.....
Here's what I think....
Y'know what I think?
To me/for me.......
etc....
And usually when I say something about how people might want to add IMO on a message board, it's in the middle of a discussion that's gone nuclear because the parties involved insist that they're "universally" right rather than just admitting the subject at hand is a matter of opinion. Not the case here, I was just dittoing what someone else said.
And of course, this is all just my opinion.
