Do you thank someone

I was reminded about the Best Response because of another discussion I encountered. I realized that I was neglectful and either didn't respond or didn't do my part by marking a Best Response and resolving it. I'm going to do my best to follow through now. Thanks for the suggestion about checking my profile to see if I had a Best Response.

hsofyan, Glad to see how appreciative you would be! I hope to see you around here again!

I knew that I wouldn't be rewarded for merely thanking someone-that alone could be a discussion ended. I like to craft another couple of questions, to continue the conversation. MyLot is a series of conversations among members, don't you think? Everyone is here, asking questions and sharing their opinions and experiences. I think that's what the powers that made up myLot were trying to achieve, you know?

I finally accomplished wrapping up my old (3 to 4-year-old) discussions-if they had a response, I resolved it by quickly allowing the responder to have a Best Response award. Sometimes, it went on for pages; those were the days when people would continue on, "chatting" back and forth, like a real live conversation goes. Those discussions were much older; the newer discussions usually had one response. By doing so, I was able to get some sort of closure. I've also managed to come up with a few new ideas-totally unique and not recycled ideas of mine! I'm working out how I want to word them-I hadn't started a new conversation for months, but lately, I've actually done some thinking! When do you think you'll get back to your older discussions for review (and hopefully) resolve them?

It surely gives new ideas in our minds, when we read our own discussions from the past. I know what you are talking about, I have experienced it, it is amazing. For now I haven't got back to my old discussions, I have like 60 pages of them, some of them without any answers, some of them has answers ... I try to pick best response as soon as possible, I mean when the responses count a medium number, because after some time I may loose the vibes of the topic. It will make the picking of best response harder for me.

I am very sorry I see this question so late. Five days or so later. Well now when I have around 3-4 discussions posted, I do my best to resolve them.

I think you're onto something there.

Do you receive a lot of Best Response awards? I used to receive the designation at least once a week, but now I can't even remember the last time I received it. I make it a point to thank people because nowadays, one can't assume someone else knows what we're thinking!

I've only gotten 2 so far really. I find it hard to give best responses myself because there are just so many good ones in the discussion to me I can't choose. Could be why and a lot of newies don't know about it maybe as well

Riyauro, A Best Response is one that the author of the discussion (in this case, it would be me) decides that a particular response answers the question that is originally presented. If we continued to discuss this back and forth, commenting on it, you could end up with it. By mentioning you didn't know what it was, I'm continuing the conversation even though you didn't ask for the answer. MyLot is like a giant conversation. When you meet someone, you ask questions and they will answer back. Sometimes they won't, so to continue talking to them, you ask them another question. My suggestion is to ask questions when responding-it will help to continue the conversation, and that is how you earn more money. Best of luck here!

What a nice gesture binggaling! I don't usually share specific parts of the FAQs because I've found it's more interesting to forge forward on my own. If I happen to experiment with some of them, only me and me alone can be blamed if I happen to start an illegal discussion. I guess I'm not as nice because I don't do anything but direct a newbie to the FAQs.

I'll do similar. Usually it's a LONG response to a topic and to merely say a simple Thank You seems inadequate. Guess some of us veterans are going to demonstrate how to properly thank someone if anyone happens to get a Best Response. Or is this the next generation of myLot participants that has fewer manners than their predecessors?

Congratulations Paper_Doll! MyLot notifications have been spotty at best the last few months (or years), and I think by visiting the Best Responses tab is the best way to check and see. Maybe I'll do that after I'm done answering this-I've been responding to notifications and resolving my old discussions (which is finally under a page!) Thanks for stopping by!

That's ok Joseph-I used to be much more diligent in thanking those who rated my response as the best one of the batch! Of course, back then I didn't have a regular job or hours, and I spent a lot more time here on myLot. And you're right-I get a warm fuzzy feeling when MY response (or responses) are rated the best.

mrswhitfield, it took quite a few years for me to receive my first notice. I'm sure that if you continue to be diligent and post intelligent, thought-provoking responses that you'll be awarded with a Best Response! Keep at 'em!

What market are you referring to-the supermarket, the stock market, or ? That's wonderful that you take a moment to extend thanks to others in the world around us!
