Do you ever get so caught up in reading...

No not generally. When I am on here I normally have a goal set as far as how many discussions I want to respond to. So I am always watching my number to see how far I am. But I can see how this could happen. Best of luck!

I've done that a few times. Sometimes it gets so interesting that you're like staring into space. Time flies it seems when you're reading.

I have gotten caught up in reading the discussions that are started by all of the people on my friends list and I have to stop and take inventory of what things that I am really interested in. On any given day I deleted from 75 to 90% of the emails I receive concerning the start of a new discussion. The reason why is not because I don't respect the people on my friends list or have an interest in their lives. The reason why is time management and that the email notices that I delete are just things that I don't have enough of an interest in to take the time to reply. If I replied to every discussion I would have no time left at all for other activities.

I’ve never been so enthralled by a discussion that I forgot to respond, but I have decided not to reply to some after reading a few posts.....but as far as reading them and forgetting to answer, no.

haha Yeah this has happened to me very frequently lately here on myLot which is why I don't have as many posts as others do on here :-P I get really caught up in reading the responses everyone makes and often read about three pages before realizing how much time I wasted! Hopefully this won't happen as much anymore though :-D Rated +.
