Commenting response can be so hard sometimes...

dear LK, Commenting to responses is the easiest part for me than giving responses to friends topic eh (hehehe) It's your topic,so,it's easier to comment back right? Response soon as you receive one to avoid cramming Oh well...go to bed,it's early in the morning,or shall i call mother?

Yes, i must agreed to it. Because i do came across that it is really hard to give respond to those who had commented on my discussion. Because of that, there had been a few discussions which i haven't fully responded back to them. Besides that, time do play a part of it. Since i have limited time to online, so really need more time to respond back to those who had commented on my discussions.

wow lk! you must be starting really interesting discussions or have tons of friends here in mylot for you to have discussions that last five to six pages long. lol! anyway, commenting back has been a practice of mine and i'm already having a hard time catching up with discussions three pages long so i can imagine how hard it is for someone to reply to posts in a thread six pages long!!! whew!!! must be really hard, eh? anyway, don't sweat about it because all your efforts will be rewarded by month's end letran knight. cheers!!!

Hi Letran Knight: I agree with you and the point is that I really want to respond all the persons that have took some time to participate on my discussions. At the same time you get tired when there are so many pages to read and answer. If you have to make like 100 responses in a day about the same subject I think your responses will become unoriginal. So I prefer to take my time. My strategy is to respond to the first 10 answers I've received, do something else and then come back to participate. ALVARO

That is the price one has to pay here for being popular. And some post too many topics and that adds to the load. It is better to have just a couple or two at a time and deal with them effectively.

You Knight should keep on moving! Being slow to respond may be a sign of you getting old already, eh? What's keeping your horses so slow Letran? Maybe just stop doing other things so that you can focus on responding here in myLot! What do you think? Haha! I feel for you, commenting back and forth and responding here and there is really tiresome and mind draining. Don't worry, the other myLotters are not that mean to judge you hastily of being a no responder if you don't respond immediately. But you can't prevent them from thinking that you are getting too old to type faster here in myLot!

Giving substantial comments back to your respondents will be to your advantage because you earn from them just the same. Of course a short thank you would not as most of us here knows. You know what, this is the reason why I seldom create many discussions these days. I can't really promise I have enough time to attend to all my discussions so I'd rather just participate on others. I believe I need to comment back to my respondents and if I won't it makes me feel like stupid. Imagine just posting a discussion and just leaving it unattended?

Hi Letran! That's what you get for having such great discussions! And yes, you are a man of your word and an all around great guy at that. And I'm sure that there are people who don't "touch type". One of my gf's went to college and she still can't type! She IM's me and I get so tired of waiting for her I tell her to just call me already! But, I also know some very fast "two fingered typists" too. My ex-bf can type fast that way (although he can't spell)!

I know how you feel and that is why I am not starting any discussions at the moment. I feel that if I start a post I need to be here to reply to each and every response I receive and, because I have been so limited for time lately I have not bothered starting any topics but I am still here to respond! I agree that commenting to our responses is the least we can do to show appreciation to those who take the time with our posts and it is after all what makes this a discussion group.

ya commenting to the responses that we gain through our discussions is very tough. if we get more responses then we have to spend more time to comment back, so in that sense it better to have discussions with less number of comments.

that takes a lot of patience, i am amazed how you do it, despite that you have to stay up till 3am..great!

Hi! Yeah.. sometimes, it's just hard to reply with the responders. Even if we want many people to respond, because we know we need to respond back, it can be stressful where there are just too many responses. And yeah... the simplest things here in mylot often get the most responses. Maybe because more people can relate.

YES YES YES. I cant agree with you MORE!!! Sometimes I am lazy to start a new discussion as I can predict how many responses I will have to respond to. Somtimes for some responses, they really have nothing to respond to (maybe because they are already the perfect answers! lol), but if I dont respond to them, it seems that I am quite impolite and did not read the responses seriously. So sometimes I am very confused and I just comment on others' posts. May be for you, dont push yourself too much on responding to all the responses one time, you can take a rest first. Like me, I respond to some of the comments on my posts one day, and respond to the remaining later. I think it is a good way of giving quality responses. It is also a good measure to show your respect for the one who commented on your posts! Cheers!

Who said to you that it is hard.No i dont believe so because i believe that it is almost impossible to comment back in most cases. There are certain cases where i stuck to comment back.There are certain responses who agree with us but completely in a different way.In cases like this it is almost very impossible because some times our comments go beyond the matter of discussion and brings confusion among other responders about what we are actually trying to say.

I know that it is considered the kind thing to reply to each and every comment, but I'm pretty sure that if you get to 5 or 6+ pages of comments that many of those last page people won't mind as much if you have moved on to another topic and don't respond back to them. One time I posted a very popular post and I got a lot of pages of responses, the only problem was they were all pretty much the same thing, over and over, and over again and honestly... how many ways can you say 'thank you for your response, I'm glad that you feel that way.' and then to try to stretch this basic concept out to about 5 lines. It get's tempting to just copy and paste the same response to each comment down the line. But, that's like spamming mylot and so I don't do that. But, what I'm trying to say is there are some situations where you shouldn't feel guilty to not respond.

Its really hard if we have to comment to a huge number of responses on a single discussion but always i consider it as my duty. Thats why i comment back to each responses without starting a second discussion. have a nice day.

Simple questions create interest and thinking way to give response to that discussion. It is very easy to answer, and we can read them in few minutes. Our mind will also be sharp. We also get the satisfaction. Sometimes our comments can make sensation.

Hi Letran I see you posted this 4 hours ago and it was 3 am, well it is now 4 hours later and I hope you did climb into bed. lol Yes I do know that feeling of having to comment back in one sitting loads and loads of pages of responses and it does get a bit tiring. But hey you always manage to catch up and then start more for us to respond to. lol, have fun and enjoy your Sunday!

Hi LK, I think you better respond first then comment back before making another topic so it will not happened to you again . Even me I tried my best to comment back and appreciate members response happy mylotting

Hello LK, There is no doubt that more simple the topic is more responses you get & it takes time to respond all those responses further and again it become more difficult to further comments. I know this is hard and requires lot of time & stamina so i seldom start a discussion rather like to respond to the discussions but thats not the way to escape as you should always reply to the responses as delays are accepted but not responding is not at all accepted by the users as it affects your image & people start neglecting you from the next discussion you start.
