Every time after initiating the discussion , I am really curious to see if I got any immidiate responses or not! So immidiately after initiating a discussion I go to my started section to see how many responses I had for my discussion. I feel happy to get any responses from the people and I carefully read them and note the contents! Some responses are really good and are sincerely attempted, I always like this types of responses! Some times I am left to wonder to see some of my old topics are getting too many responses and the new ones are never responded for few hours ! Yes I do have a few of topics where I never got any response at all ! So what do you do immidiately after posting a discussion? Do you check for response like me or you have lot of patience to sait for some time while doing something on this forum! Please respond! Thanks!

I try to but sometimes when several days go by when I don't get a chance to visit mylot, I just can't work it in. I try to respond if one is called for also. This is affected by the number of responses and how old they are.

Yes! I can understand, because of shortage of time we can't do it very often, and many a times then the responses they become quite old to comment further! Thanks for responding !

I usually don't check it immediately but only after i start getting notifications in my mail box. And it is not the number of responses that i am checkin for , but the content of the responses and who is responding. There are times that i do not check it the same day and do so the next day.

Yes! It is the content of the discussion naturally one is interested in ! It gives an idea how the other members are taking your ideas and what do they feel about you! That is the actual thrill in this form, What you say ? Thanks for responding !

I don't. When I start a discussion, I leave it as is for a few days. I rarely post comments because I don't go back but there are times when I have nothing good to do here on mylot that I just have to post comments already/ I don't expect others to comment on my replies as well. After posting a discussion, I just post replies to other discussions!It's more productive.

Wow! Its a great idea keeping open your e-mail to check the current responses ! Yes,I think this should solve the purpose, instead of going back every time to see if we got any new response! Thanks ! Thanks for helpful response !

Sometime it is not necessary for me to respond to all discussion I have started, i do read all but either rate them or give a response. It is just good to read all your responses to get what people feel and think about your topic. Sometimes you get it tiresome actually to respond let's say even 10 responses for three discussion you've started

That isright, we normally go back to see what di the people have to say about our discussion! Yes,some times its reallt a tiresome experience to respond all the discussions! Thsnks for participating!

I don't do that, instead, I wait for notification on my inbox. Then I check it out. It's easier that way. Cheers!!

i always have a notification in my email every time someone respond to my discussions or in the response i made. and every time there's a response in my discussion i always go back to them and make a reply to let them know that i appreciate it so much that they drop by and make a sincere response. it's always nice to see that your discussion/s had response/s in it so i return the gesture.

Hi Akrao! Whenever I start a new discussion I tend to check it from time to time, but sometimes, I just respond to others discussions for couple of minutes and then come back and check it again! And it feels great whenever I see some few responses. Thanks!

I did the same thing with you rushing to go back if I have responded by my friends lotters like you. I"m so excited every time I read those comments and discussions. There were times that I laughed upon reading the comments. And the most out of it is i read those feelings inside the comments, the true feelings regarding those matter we were discuss. I got some inspiration coming from them especially if I feel down. Because in here I put my emotions I can write what I feel. Trated like friend. Even I"m alone seems like I have companions around.

ofcourse i do. i usually start discussions on a topic that buffles me. some of the answer are indeed helpful and are straight forward. some are long and very descriptive. but i really appreciate each one of it. i just hope that people will do the same for my responses. i don't want my opinion or point of view to be ignored or something. you don't want that as well, right?

Generally yes I do check my discussions that I start. Some are for article ideas and I am looking for either feedback or I am looking for inspiration for the articles. Others are about what is going on in life and others are just about what is going on in my life....so of course I want immediate feedback too.

Yes, I do, I want to know what people say - if they say something - and answer their discussions. I don't want to leave unanswered comments. I just say my honest opinion regarding that comment, and this is it. All the people interested in my topic deserve this. All the people that just drop in and say something without reading what's all about, also deserve an answer. It won't be a pleasant one, but they will get my opinion. More, this is they way you can make better money here, I think.

I do not have to. I am notified, via email, if someone replies. That makes life easier than going to check to see if anyone replied.

Well, I don't go on here to check for them. I always get an email when there's a new response to one of my discussions....but I do check my email often for them he he.

I do go back and check to see if and how many responses I get to the discussions I start, I don't get a chance to comment on all the responses, and I hope the responders understand, I work during the week and I am at a lost for time. I will start a discussion and I am off to work. I do appreciate them for taking the time to respond. And when I am on I do try to return the favor and respond to as many as possible and ones that is of interest to me.
