When ya start a topic and get a few responses, do you respond to the responses, or just let the topic die on it's own after several people added their 2 cents worth?

yep its good to keep things going, instead of everyone starting topic after topic on the same things.

True, redhot... I've seen different discussions on the same topic, but from different angles.... makes it hard to pick which angle to continue it from.

hmmm yes. that is a good point. Usually though when I pick one to respond to I respond only to that one. If i see another person post another topic on the same subject matter I just leave it alone. Unless I'm just super bored.

I respond to everyone, out of courtesy's sake. My topics still die of natural deaths even if I do that though... lol. But I do show my appreciation to those that do reply, no matter how few they may be.

I try to respond to everyone who takes the time to respond to my discussions since they were so kind to do so. I would imagine that I would stop responding to someone who ignored my 2 cents worth again and again and the point of starting a discussion is to get responses.

I try to respond. If they took the time to respond to me then the least I can do is respond back. After all it is suppose to be a discussion and that means communicating back and forth. Otherwise I really don't see the point unless a person is just trying to spout off something and has no real interest in discussing anything.

I always try and respond back but I don't always get the chance to or sometimes I really don't know what to respond back to them. I always try to come up with something though even if it is just something small.

I try to respond to everyone who has taken the time to respond to me. If I don't it is because their response got overlooked. I really enjoy hearing what people have to say. I have already gotten a lot of useful information and insights in the short time since I joined.

I response to everyone who takes the time to respond to me, I would have to have a full mail or not see that someone has responded to my discussion for me not to respond to them.
