Long response... long comment...

i think the length isnt that important as long as the idea is there. long answers will only help in explaining and giving further details.

I agree , we dont have to beet around the bush on responses as long as it is concise and you have answered the questions directly

Hi there Shibham! I believe that as what they have said, the content is much more important than the length of the response. As long as you answered the question that the discussion starter asked, then it's all good. That's better than having a really long response but not being able to answer the question posted.

Hello Shibham, I don’t think it is necessary to give a long comment for a long response. Usually I am giving a long comment for short response. In the beginning I can add my views which I could not include in the discussion (for making the discussion short). Finally it all depends on the ‘mood’ at the time when I am giving my comments back.

Hi Shiby - long responses may actually draw shorter comment because the person may be sharing some personal experience. :) So - I am ok with long responses, and I dont feel obliged to offer long comment. I just go with what I feel. :)

I think we have to give an honest comment and it doesn't matter whether it's long or short. It's the sincerity of the comments and the interest in the discussion that matters most. Some people would make comments on other people's discussion without even reading the content, but just looking at the title. Worst of all some members post a comment even when they don't even know anything regarding the topic!

As much as I wanted to really reply on all response in discussions I started, I can't do it since I only have a very short time here on mylot. And I am not really very much particular with poor vocabulary or what as long as we were able to communicate in a manner comprehensible to others. I hope I could get much time with mylot soon..

It is not necessary to give long responses to discussions. It is not even required, but if you feel that you know the topic and you have a lot to share then your response might become longer. Comments i have seen in mylot are usually short. A thank you can be enough already just to let him know that you appreciate his efforts.In other words it would be up to you, though they say that you would not be paid if you respond in one sentence only. I haven't seen the guidelines yet.

i believe that the length is not important, but the stand and the opinion is what more important. sometimes, the questions only require us to respond shortly, and therefore we should respond accordingly. there are times when people responded too long but we can't see any good insights of it, but just mere ramblings. it's better to keep it precise and reasonable ^^

I believe in keeping things short and sweet. Most of people I guess find it hard to read long stuff unless in some circumstances. So keeping things short won't trouble their eyes. :D

i think that if we either have nothing to say or we don't know what to say to the discussion or even if others have responded and what you would put is similar it is hard to put anything down. It therefore may just be easier to give atleast some form of a short response to show that you have atleast read the discussion. If somenbody is replying back to one of your own discussions and you have nothing else to reply with then i feel that it is only polite of you to atleast thank them for the response that they leave you. There are times when things have already been said or we can also but stuck for words, either way it does not need to be a long response, but something written down is obviously is better than nothing being put at all.

No it doesn't matter how long and short the discussions and responses may be, the important is the taught of the discussions and responses.

There's no need for a long response. Me, i usually give responses on topics i only like. Sometimes, i get carried away i give lengthy comments . I guess, your mood also adds to the enthusiasm of answering discussions.

i think is better straight to the point. :)

One liner does not work here on Mylot to be considered as an answer. Well the response depend on how the member wanted to express his/her thoughts. What is important is that the question was been answered and is really related to the topic.

It isn't the length of the responses or comments, but the quality of them that maters. A user can post a lot of long responses, but they wouldn't be quality if they didn't relate to the discussion at hand, nor would they be quality, if they didn't have substance or be descriptive. A user can post a short response and it be worth more than a long one that isn't of a good quality. We all know that it is quality that mylot wants from us and not just quantity. Good luck to you and happy mylotting.

Hi Shibham, I can give long responses at some posts, but i don't look for long comments in answer to my post. Anything is ok to me, as long as i know that my response has been read. :)

Hi shi... Just say whatever you want and what you can think of at that moment, just be precise and make sure that you answer the topic. Don't type words just for the sake of typing. What I said above was my style of answering posts, I don't usually give very long comments but I would try to avoid one-liners too unless I really do not have much to say but am still interested in the topic.

Hello, i can find your point of view, sometimes it's really hard to create some original and new response if the person who answered to your discussions write same things like the last, but with other words. But for me, it doesn't matter. If you are owner of some discussion, you can always make little changes on the way of the discussion, if you have nothing new to say at the same point. This is what i do. Sometimes i catch one word and make a response based on that word, never mind that the discussion will change it's own direction little bit, but the topic will stay the same, so it's o.k. for me.

I see your point there but if you happen to start a new discussion and people would plainly reply to it without any sense, would you not feel bad about it? I guess some mylotters are simply cautious about their comments that they do not only want to give a comment on your discussion but they would want to share entirely what they know about about the subject matter. As for responding to it, well better not respond if you feel like you don't have anymore to say. I feel the same way that you do, I really appreciate people who give good responses in my lousy discussions but I cannot say any more further. Hence, I leave it that way or I may give one sentence or two. I know it doesn't count at all but I prefer saying just a simple thank with no credit rather not having reply-response for those responses. Keep cool pal! Happy mylotting!
