What deters you from responding

Hello jesssp If there are no responses then I like to be the first to get the ball rolling sometimes that is the only response a discussion will get! Sometimes I won't respond to a discussion if it has already had loads of responses because like you say 'what more can you contribute'? Sometimes you have to read through all the responses left by others too before you can respond yourself and that can be time consuming!!

I do not usually respond to discussions with a lot of responses as well. I very rarely read the today's top or hot discussions, because after the discussions has fourty or more responses, I do not think I have much to add to it and the poster probably stops reading them after a cerain amount. I usually select the new category. I do not respond to questions that require a yes or no answer either. And I definitely am not responding to Obama discussions, he has already won the election, so let it rest.

It does nt matter how many responses are in one for me to respond. If it interests me I will respond be there zero or a hundred responses. Even if I say something already stated I feel I can usually add something to the discussion. Sometimes I spend a few hours responding just to those discussions with no resp[onses. It's kind of fun and different for me. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

mainly the content of the discussion. at times i start reading the discussion. after reading it I can't make any sense and i stop respoinding

I also often skip discussions that have a lot of responses already because, as you say, I feel like I probably can't say anything that hasn't already been said. But if a discussion has zero responses I'll definitely reply if I have something to say, in fact I often look under "no responses" for things to reply to.
