Good eve fellow mylotters...
I used to write and post topics or discussions that I think and thought,sometimes based on the things happened to me,what I feel to say or things that I wanted to express.Every time I do make discussions,I quite excited to write and see if there will responses immediately,if how many people who will read and response in my discussions.There are some that there will no response at all but there are some that I really get a lot which is quite fulfilling and overwhelming especially when some of my post inspires and gives positive effect with other people who read it.
Sometimes it feels sad somehow if no one respond to some topic after some hours passed or sometimes days.Well that's life,everything might happened every tick of the clock.Nevertheless,I still enjoy and having so much staying hear,reading discussions,learning about things and expressing myself.
How about you? Do you expect certain count of responses?
Do you envy other people's discussion who have many counts of replies?

Not particularly. In fact, one could argue that the number of responses does not always correlate with the quality of the discussion at hand. While I'm sure that there are many discussions that have gotten many good responses that have also had many responses in total, I do think that a lot of responses are often responded to, that are of moderate quality but really do not require a great deal of thought to post a response in.
Plus if they are the type that respond to every response on the topic, I do not envy someone who wakes up to about forty, fifty, sixty responses that they have to deal with. Especially considering a few of them, might not give you much to work with when formulating a response. So no in the end, I do not envy these people. They must be doing something right when they are creating all of these topics that are getting good responses.

No, I don't really. I just admire them for having so many responses, but I don't care really because it has nothing to do with my own earnings. Well, my friend, a close friend who I referred here in mylot just overcame my earnings, and I was so envy(but it was just a mere friendly jealousy). She inspired me to do lotting everyday, at least a few posts will do. So that everytime we see each other, I will have something to boast against her and others who have mylot too. But sometimes, I just feel like not doing it because I'm so busy job hunting at odesk and elance. :-)

I have nobody I can just jealous because he himself had invented it and debate it was his.
why should there be jealousy but everyone should try and make it such a discussion and have the same number of answers.
you just have to try and we will be at the same level and be even better but there should be no jealousy.
interesting discussion.
nice day!

I don't envy them at all. It's just a matter of sharing of ideas and thoughts here and buildings a relationship with other mylotters. Good friendship is what's the most important here so why envy those with lots of responses. I am and will even be happy to those who has lots of responses because almost each of us here always has a share of discussions with lots of responses so there's really no need to be envy or have any bad feelings with others having lots of responses.

You may not get many responses here because the exact same question was asked just a day ago: http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2642227.aspx
If you get few responses to a discussion, it may be just the 'luck of the draw' but it is more often the case that you have done something wrong - either in the way the discussion was worded or presented or by putting it under the wrong interest or a less popular interest.
There is no reason to envy people who get many responses. I see quite a few discussions with more than 10 good responses where the person starting the discussion hasn't bothered to come back to comment or merely says 'thanks for responding'. I feel sorry for those people rather than envying them because they clearly have NO idea about how a discussion works and how it can increase your earnings!
