Do you comment to all the responses that you get?

well i try but can't and don't....oh well we can't all be the same it would be soooooo boring.

I too never ever forget to comment back to the responses I get. Whenever I login to mylot, the first thing I do is to comment to the responses that I recieved. ONly after that I respond to others' discussions. It is just like a thank you note for the responders for having spent some time for responding to my discussion.

I too have noticed this . Few discussions never recieve any response. May be mylotters get bored by repetitive discussions. ALways interesting topics gets more responses.

oh..will people post responses in that manner too..I'm hearing this for the first time..HAve you got any experience like this?

I have received a few very disrespectful responses as well as some that had absolutely nothing to do with the original discussion. Some, I believe, may have had to do with the responder not being fluent in English and therefore, not understanding the point of the original discussion, but others seemed to be just someone wanting to up their number of responses with anything they could type.

I too comment to all the responses I get. I never miss any. Though it is a one-line response, I comment them back.It is just like a word of appreciation for responding to my discussion. Only after that I start responding to others' discussions. I do not aim to spend more time at mylot..But I just wish that I had a quality time here.

that is a good policy infact..

yes commenting back increases the interaction part of the community..also it increases the reputation of the person.

lol... yup... agreed!!!!

yes, when someone has spent sometime to respond to our discussion, it is always good to comment back..It would be like acknowledging them..

There are times however, will someone will respond and I can't even understand what they meant--- and I just skip it. I still rate it though because atleast they took the time to put something. I've only rated 2 things negative in my whole mylot time and that was just ignorant responses. Most people are nice though.

that is nice..the rating also helps the person who responded..

Moreover, commenting back lets the person know that his response has ben read. Also, I feel that when someone spends sometime for responding to my discussion, I should also spend sometime for writing back to him.

Very true and agree with u this end up in strong relation and confidence building

yes, commenting back lets the person know that his response has been read and he has spent his time worthfully. Also it keeps the discussion alive.

yes, I too feel that it is very important to comment back to the responses that I get. Because I feel that when someone spends a time to respond to my discussion, I should be ready to spend sometime of mine to comment them back. I have seen few mylotters who never comment to the responses. In that case, it just makes a sense that they keep on starting the discussions just for the sake of earning money.I do not want to fall into that category.

That's a good point Ldyjarhead! And, I couldn't have said it any better. So, I won't even try. As you say if the response is half decent, more than one line and the person is actually trying to communicate, then they get a response. Some people don't bother posting anything sensible or just post a word or two looking for a few cents for their efforts. But others really do add value to the discussions. And I always take time for those people. Of course, with that being said, everyone's schedule is different so it's not possible to respond to everyone. Just depends on what else I am doing in my home life.

yes, when you recieve just a single line response, then you have to put more effort and thinking to comment on them..

I also feel the same.Only when commenting back the user may know that the time spent by him for responding the discussion has been worth.I feel that when we comment back, the user may know that his response has been read.

It is nice to know that someone is actually paying attention to the words you type. I'm sure that sometimes we won't always be able to answer every response. But, I will try my best. (Kinda' feels like talking to the wall if you never get a response..right?)

oh..you have not started any discussion yet..do not delay..You will enjoy recieving responses with different views and thoughts. That is also a part of having fun at mylot.

yes, I too have noticed few people post a single line response..You know,I have also seen people who post with a one line response but with the correct information that the discussion needs..

It is always nice to leave a thank you note for the discussions in which our is chosen as a best response.

Yes, it is always a good idea to post comments to the responses you get. It can also help you to add more friends in your list.

yes, it helps to discuss about the thoughts the respondent has submitted.Good that you comment to all the responses you get.

I recieve a mail to let me know that I recieved a comment for my response. So I feel that everyone else will get if they recieve a comment.This also helps to add new friends to your list.

that is true..Acknowledging the users for their response is very important. Only then it would be like you have read the response.
