Do you go back and respond to old messages when you realized you've missed a lot

I was going through my email and realized that I have a some pages that are older with mylot responses. Since my email gets filled so fast with junk mail I must have missed a lot(junk mail is so annoying ). So I do have some work cut out for me to respond to these. It will be fun though.

Yeap I had a pretty low traffic email account too and at the start It was a radical change, from like 2-3 mails per day too 20-50 but yes it is really helpful since you can't always remember the discussions you responded too so it is good for keeping up track with mylot :)

Yeah I like the fact that they email us when we have responses. At first I thought it was a lot of emails to receive. But later as I became more active on mylot I realized that this method is very helpful.

Yes, eventually, and it doesn't matter how old they are either. I was absent for a long time last year and I am srill catching up with the old notifiers that arrived when I was away.

Good I'm glad to hear that. It's nice to know others as well go back and respond to discussions that are older. I feel good that I'm going back and responding. As I appreciate those who took the time to respond to my discussions.

I have thousands of notifiers still waiting for me to catch up and I am amzaed when I read topics asking "what do you do when you are bored?" How can we possibly ever be bored once we have joined myLot?!

I don't rely on my notifications because I generally don't respond from email anyway... but I do check email to see where there's activity. Once I respond to that stuff, I look at my "responded" tab and scan through a few pages to look for new activity, too. That way, I often catch things that never came to me by email. I try my best not to miss anything but, if I do, I'll go back and contribute, even if it's older

Glad to hear that you check to see if any new responses were made. It allows for us to respond back to those even though perhaps our discussion was created some time ago. It keeps us busy at mylot.

hi dominique25 oh yes I am in the same situation and am steadily working at trying to respond to as many as I can but I had five hundred notifications. others say they are not getting notifications Maybe they are all coming to me instead but seriously I am having to delete the older ones and try to do the one or two hundred newer ones, and even then its going to take me some time. of course I do not respond to all as I know nothing about cricket or football or soccer so do not w ant to give a stupid response. I do pick out those I can relate to and go from there. And of co urse my friends come first then the rest also. Hope we can get caught up soon

Wow that really is a lot of notifications. I'm sure that responding to those messages will keep you busy for awhile. That is great that you get so many messages to respond it. I'm sure it helps keep you busy at mylot.

Yeah it's good for us to go back and check. That is what I'm doing now. We never know when we may have missed a comment or a new comment is posted. It's nice to revisit old discussions. It always amazes me how fast time goes by.

Yeah I think that it's a good thing to go back. We never know if we have missed some or if there are new responses. I like to go back and see if I missed one. It also gives me more work to focus on.

I responded to the discussion, which I can respond. Although the discussion is old. I'm still going to respond, if I could respond.

Yeah I think that it is a good idea. Sometimes I miss certain discussions or responding back. So it's nice for me to go back and see if anything new is there. This keeps me active in mylot and helps me keep up with the responses I have received.

Responding to old discussions with their mails in my inbox is sometimes most necessary as it gives people who have responded to the discussion an impression that they are not alone and it still gives me a chance to earn, which is the main reason why we are here. As long as I can catch up with any discussion, I try my best to respond.

I agree with you. It's nice that we are able to respond to discussions that are old. It's a great thing to be able to see what others have said to our discussion. And earning a little extra money is a great plus as well.

Of course I do! There are times when I just want to read things that were part of my past, those that were part of myself and contributed to who I am now. Be it professional messages or just the personal ones. However, I do not respond to such, as I see that it's pointless to do so. :)

I've noticed that when I respond to older messages there are individuals who do respond back. Not everyone will respond back. But I think that it is good for me to respond back to them if I've noticed that I have missed their responses. It shows them that I appreciate that they took the time to respond to my discussions.

I do that a lot i may have old discussions and i do re-visit them to see if i have missed anything. Sometimes when we are busy we get a bit behind on our mylot but i do try to visit and re-visit as often as i can.

Yeah I'm trying to make sure that I catch up with any comments I have missed. Sometimes people respond to older discussions. It also keeps me going with my goal for mylot time for the day.

The reason why i am here is that i want to take part in some discussions in which i am interested. SO no matter it is updated or out of date, i'd like to respond to it. Additionally, it's unnecessary and impossible to go through every updated message. Sometimes, i must give up. Only in that way, can i improve the quality of my daily life and have a relaxing mood.
