Did you know that you can respond to other people's responses as well in a given topic..that is beyond the one who created the topic..that is what gives the discussion value.. Try it sometimes and tell me what happens;)+

Yes and I use that a lot on here. Sometimes when a discussion has a lot of responses, it makes no sense to comment on the end to something that someone else has already said. If someone has already answered in the same way I was going to and I want to add something to it, I respond to their response. I also give + (and sometimes -) ratings to people who comment on the post I'm reading, not only to those who comment on my discussions.

I would have given an example here but as this is the first comment on this post, I couldn't. But if someone else was to comment on my comment to you, it would look exactly like this, only with a different name and the other users picture.

Yes I saw that when I first logged in here yesterday that it was possible to reply to others than just the asker. I have used that on here. Isasice introduced me to this website yesterday so I'm still quite new her but she's been sharing her experience so hopefully I won't make all the beginners mistakes many members seem to make here.

I didn't know that. I thought you could only discuss and ask questions with your Mylot buddies. Thanks for that information.

Yes, it is a feature that I have used a few times. It is a very useful feature here because it means that if someone makes an interesting point along the way then you are able to respond to that particular aspect of the discussion rather than the overall subject. This is definitely one of Mylot's better ideas.

Yes, that's what makes the site conversational.
