Do you think twice before replying to a discussion with a best response?

If I'm not that interested in responding and I see it already has a best response, then I move on to another post. But if I think it's a really good discussion and I have something in mind that I really want to add to the discussion, then I will go ahead and post even though a best response has already been chosen.

The only time I will NOT respond to a discussion that has a best response already is when it's been less than one day. That just bugs me that anyone wouldn't wait long enough for others around the world to respond.

No, it does not make any difference to me Rajesh. I would respond to the discussion if i have something to say or if it's one started by friends. I look at it from the point of interaction and would put across my point of view irrespectively.

If I am responding to a discussion I usually feel I have something to add. It does puzzle me though why someone would choose a best response after only a few replies, sometimes even hours after the original post. Why not at least wait a couple of day until most of the responders have finished, and then choose. I have long since trying to figure out why other people think as they do and do as they do.

It's alright, I don't mind, replying to a discussion with a chosen best response already, what's important is for me to share my own views regarding the topic being discussed.

yes it's happening with me too. the reason is first, my english is not perfect, so i always have two things to do when i reply or even make some new discussion, thinking about the answer should i write and number two are to translate it into english :P.. the second reason is same with you, about the reaction from the people about may reply, positive or negative impact. i don't know, sometimes misunderstanding could happen here.

It doesn't really matter to me whether or not a discussion has been marked with a best response. To me, it doesn't necessarily mean that the discussion is closed, so I'll still respond. If I choose a best response in my discussion, it doesn't mean it's closed. I still appreciate any and all responses to my discussions. Does that make sense?

Well, it depends. Sometimes I'll still say something about a discussion even if it has already been marked with a best response. After all, I can not always expect to have my response being marked as the best. I just want to share my thoughts on that topic. Perhaps the person who started the discussion has already forgot about it and will never come back again to check whether there are no responses. But I don't care about that. The other times I just stop when I saw that "XXX's response has been marked as the best response". It all depends on what kind of discussion it is.

When I reply back to a discussion I say whatever is on my mind. I get very detailed and straight to the point to what I say. Some say I'm optimistic and bold from my responses. I tend to keep it that way. So every other day I get marked with best responses. It's a good thing since it is helpful information to them. Others are blown away with some of the responses, because as said being optimistic, many other users can repeat or say the same thing that others say. It tends to lose flavor until someone comes along and sheds light to a topic that they probably have never heard of or didn't expect.

weather it has a best response or not if i believe that i can add something to the discussion i add my response. I think that most wait just a few days before marking a best response which to me is not long enough.

well idont see whether the discussion is marked with best response or not..if iam interested in the discussion then ill post my thoughts...what if it is already been selected as best response...mylot has given me an oppurtunity to express my views and iam doing it...thanks mylot... happy mylotting

I will respond to a discussion that has a best response, if the topic is one that interests me, otherwise I just let it go. I don't give best responses right away, as we are told to wait at least a week or so, to give others a chance to respond. Usually by then, there is no more responses, then I will give a best response. I know that some don't and they should, to give others a chance to respond, because there might be a better response than what is already there. Well, good luck to you and happy mylotting.

i don't normally read a discussion more than once before deciding what to write as responce, reading them enough is ideal for me and it also depends on the content of the discussions, i may give a lengthy response to a short discussion or vice versa depending on what knowledge i have concerning them

yea i always take my time to have a best response ussally sometimes i just write respones just for the money ussally my respones are not negitive

Half the time I do not even stop to look at that column and it has no impact on whether I choose to respond to a discussion topic or not.Most discussions thta I respond to would be in the friends column and I would respond if the topic intersts me.That is all.

not really, well sometimes.. but most of the times i just participated to every discussion that hits my curiosity or tickle my thoughts.. best response for me is just an added excitement for me. not really aiming for the pencil.. hehehehe..

I'm thinking twice, because i need to translate it into English best response is a bonus, and it was already long day i'm not receiving it anymore The serious case like his/her problems in life, which mylotter has open a discussion, need more serious answers from me, i will thinking carefully, basically i likes kidding and i didn't seriously care about best response anyway, the important things for me is how helpful my response with their problems, i'm really happy if it's help them

As a whole I pay very little attention to whether best post has been awarded or not. If a discussion grabs my attention and I feel that I have something worth while saying then I will post my comment. But then my approach to myLot is all about having some fund, destressing at the end of the day and contributing to a growing community. But there are a few rare occassions where I will look at a new discussion and see that after just a few minutes, best response has already been awarded to the first person who commented and generally I won't bother commenting.

I only repond to discussions which I find interesting and which I think I really have something valuable to say. I don't respond just for the sake of responding. I don't really consider whether the dicussion starter has already chosen a best response. I don't think before I respond to a discussion and reform my words in such a way that I will get a best response. Sometimes I will have an opposite idea of the discussion starter. I feel that the discussion starter should wait for sometime after starting the dicussion before giving the best response and make sure that the response marked as 'BR' is worth it. I have a nice exprience with best response. Once I marked BR to one of the responses to my discussion, later somebody commented that the response is worth it. It made me very happy.

I will leave my remark regardless of whether or not it may or may not be a best response.....they asked the question--so they obviously want answers.
