Same answer...again and again

Hi all, Most of the time, I always found the same discussion or question being posted over and over. Some of them are listed in my group of interest and as a MyLot user, I would like to respond to it. But I'm aware that my respond are same if not the sentences, the points will be same. To be fair, it's not my sole intention to provide the same response but the discussion topic required me to do so. For example : the discussion regarding the Online Love, Internet Love, Internet Relationship..the question are same " Do you believe in them" so, as I have one clear stand regarding this topic my answer will be same everytime I respond to it. I always wondering if the same answer again and again even in the different discussion, will annoy other MyLot users. How about you guys? Do you feel the same? Or if you found several same discussion, do you choose to keep on responding or just omitting it?

I think that's something that can't be prevented. I also think that it is natural and is not a problem at all. There will be new people registering as myLot members in the future, who have never read the discussion that existing members have. So when they post something, which they think is new, there's a chance that that same topic has been discussed before. To myLot members who have been participating in myLot for a long time, they will see that discussion as boring. But we must remember that there are many new members who will be excited to respond to those topics. The best way to see this is by looking at how humans have conversations in the real world. I am sure there are times when you talk about the same thing to someone, which is fine, it's not a problem at all, you just talk about it because you want to interact with that person you are talking to. Another way of looking at it is by looking at little children. Things that are obvious to us might be exciting to them, and we try to tolerate with that so that we can interact with them. That applies to myLot also.

Thank you for your interesting response. Just curious whether there's people who feel annoyed with the same answer being given over and over.
