Would you still post a response even though there is already a Best Response?

Sometimes, I try to search through myLot for particular topics that I have in mind and see if someone already started with a topic so that I could just post my own opinions about the matter. Then, when go to the discussion, I'd see that the one who initiated the discussion has already chosen a "best response." With that given, would you still post your opinions about the topic or just move on and find another topic that might interest you? As for me, if I am really interested, I'd still post my opinions even if there is already a chosen best response, I would even rate that response by chance

Yes, I do find myself in such situations. But even though a best response have been selected but if I feel that I can offer a different approach to the questions, I will still post. After all, MyLot is all about sharing opinions. But most of the time, I will just skip them.

I do that too. If I think that I still have another alternative for the matter, I'd still post it and hopefully get a response from my post

Me too even if I don't get the best response. I feel satisfied enough that they reply to the response I have given. Being acknowledged and recognized on sharing our thoughts on the discussion. Even I have trouble sometimes with using english for it is not my native language to begin with. I just try if the construction of the sentence sounds good enough and the content intact

If the subject matter of the discussion is interesting and it appeals me, I would go for a reply, without bothering about 'best response'. If I feel strongly that I must something substantial to the discussion, I simply write my views. I have seen that there are some very nice and considerate members here on mylot, who even after selecting a best responses, read the other responses and appropriately post their comments.

I agree with you that more responses and more views make the discussion lively and more interesting. As I mentioned earlier, most of the members do post their comments on intesting replies, even after awarding BR.

Yes of course.I8 don't mind and don't look into whether it got the BR already.If it is appealing to me I respond impulsively.And I always think that it should be the way to not to loose the best discussions.

So it seems that you would read the whole exchange of replies and responses before deciding on sharing your thoughts and opinions in a particular discussion. That's impressive Thanks for responding!

I would not mind responding to a discussion if a best response has already been assigned. The reason for responding is always the amount of interest that you have on a particular posting.

That is indeed a possibility that some members do it for fun. Then again, most members do have fun here on this site, posting reponses and replying to discussions, even when there is already a best response chosen in that particular discussion. Thank you for sharing

Yes, i will still reply to the post or discussion even if their is a best response already.. i mean nothing wrong with that coz the one who started the discussion feels he or she got the answer he or she is looking for.. And here in mylot you reply to discussion to give your best shot.. even yours is not marked you know you give your opinion to a certain discussion

well, I always still post a response. the reason is not about the best response but because I think I can add more opinion for the discussion's starter there. I never mind about any best response already given or not, if the discussion is really interesting and it is very good to discuss, why not joining the thread instead and give more live spirit towards the discussion. after all, myLot is a place for social interaction, so it doesn't matter about who gets the best response, I guess. I believe every discussion owner always hopes that his / her discussion will remain alive and get more posts / responses.

I am one of those who would like discussions to keep on being active even if the dicussion isn't one of mine. A progressive discussion is quite nice, not only does it generates more income for everyone participating but, the topic gets more input which also benefit everyone Thank you!

I have posted to loads of discussions that have already selected best responce, most of the time I had not noticed until it was too late, but then other times if I really want to say something, then I just say it anyway.

I would still post because, I tend not to notice sometimes. I don't post to get a best response. If I am interested in the topic, and I feel I have something to add, then I do. Don't get me wrong, I do love getting BR's but, it isn't my reason for posting to a discussion. I just have a lot to say...almost all the time...and, this is a great outlet with which to do just that!

I often do that too, especially when the topic that has been posted before is within my intersts. Even when it has been a year or a few months old. I still post my views You were planning on a similar discussion? Just proves most of us have similar ideas and pondering about the same topics to discuss Thank you!

I also often do that so that my own thoughts about the matter wouldn't be influenced until after I posted my voice on the topic, then I'd read the other responses and be surprised that someone has a similar idea.
