What I mean is, if you respond to a discussion, do you check back in a while to see if the person who started the discussion or even others have commented on your response? I want to get into the habit of doing this but I can't bring myself to doing it for some weird reason. Usually, if you have written something interesting or useful and someone has a question, they comment on your response. But then if you never check back, they'll never have their questions answered. I only usually check back if it is something interesting or if I have asked a question myself. But now, I'm going to try to check back to every discussion I respond to. Not a very easy thing to do, but surely worth a try. I was wondering how many other mylotters check back to a discussion they've responded to?

I have been doing that quite often as i can possibly do. It is a simple task if i do not write in many discussions but will be difficult to do that after a while as my discussion will increase in number over time. It will be nice to respond to some opinions to show that you are really interested in your topic of discussion and appreciate others people opinions.

I do not always check back to the discussions I have responded, sometimes there are just too many interesting discussions to participate, and forget to go back to the past ones. I do check on the "responded" tab once in a while, just to see if there are any interesting responses.

I never check back to a discussion i have responded to
.The next day when i check my mail.If i see mylot comments.Then i respond to that response if it is good or a question is asked.I mostly don't write back comments.I write comments to people who respond to my discussion.

Yes, I do check back to discussions I've responded to and started. I get emails for discussions I started and responses I have made. I find it weird when people do not respond to comments I have made on their responses because it turns into a one-way discussion.

I had very good surprizes when I started to check back the discussions I responded and started. It´s really nice to see the way people answer to them and how they like to help is amazing.

Hi Chocsie,
I usually check back just to see if any activity is done in regard to my response. But i rarely find any. But it's always intrest me to check.

I usually do go back at least once a week to check, sometimes more often. I dont check them all everytime but I look to see the last response and if there is one i do read it.

I don't do it, only sometimes like you when it's really interesting.
And most of the time when I do check, no one even posted after my comment.
If they have a question they should PM me. It would be easier. Since I reply to alot of discussions it's not always easy going back and checking.

I usually do, especially if its on something I expect to see responses or comments to. If its an interesting topic Im interested in see what other people thought of my ideas and what others think, I enjoy responding to criticism or disagreement a little too much I think.

I sometimes check back. I do not like checking the notify me, just in case the other person (usually not the one who started the post) calls me horrible names and has a very long rant along with those insults they are sprouting about me. I decided to put a list of the discussions that I responded to, but usually around the end of the day, I sort to forget. But it does make it easier then searching through four or five pages.

I try to but I don't have e-mail notifications set up (can't keep up with them) so I'm sure that I miss some.

Yes i eagerly check back the discussions to whom i responded to see if i have got any comments or suggestions.I have also e-mail notifications set up and it makes it simpler to view the comments.
You come to know that how many people are genuinely reading your responses and commenting on them.
