Do you ever get frustrated by people who do not respond to comments on their MyLot posts?

I sometimes leave questions on MyLot posts that are of interest to me. But not all MyLotters respond to comments on their posts. I admit that I am so obsessed with responding to comments (on my posts) that I sometimes have days where I only visit a few others' MyLot posts. But I try to make up for it down the road. Then I get frustrated when I visit a post to which I responded with a question and see no response. I suppose we all have our patterns/priotities on MyLot. Do you tend to respond to questions on your MyLot posts? Or do you have other "MyLot priorities"?

I try to respond to you though sometimes it takes a little head scratching to get the job done.

It depends on pony's topic... When he talks about music, if it's his own, I pay close attention. If it's not his, I skim the post and move on... Sometimes he has managed to confuse me so I move on.

Head-scratching is my middle name. I blame Kitty. I think she brings itchy critters into the house.

I do try to answer specific questions that might appear in the comments and I hope I don't miss too many. I don't always answer a question on the end of a discussion but might comment on some other part of the text.

I try to respond to comments and questions, although sometimes people leave comments that don't really encourage conversation. They're the kind of responses that are discouraged on MyLot, like one-word replies or "that was cool" or "me too", but I usually don't bother reporting them. Sometimes there are sentences that just don't make a lot of sense (which probably come from people who are less familiar with using the English language), and those are difficult to respond to. I do appreciate your attention to responding to comments!

You don't write enough discussions... How can I talk to you when there's no topic to talk about? I have been known to make up a complaint just to have something to talk with someone about, though.

@spiderdust But I see my methods work so why should I change them? I always feel like I'm having to work too hard to earn my pennies when I write a discussion. A lot of people will make nothing comments (Very interesting. Good going. Wow, how exciting. ) and hope I'll respond to that or go to their discussions and talk to them. I delete those and move on to worthwhile responses that will give me something to think about and talk about with interesting people. (I HATE writing new discussions because of people like that.)

@DaddyEvil Oh, I can find you pretty much anywhere on here! Besides, you only write a discussion once a month or so yourself! I think @LadyDuck writes one per quarter, but she converses plenty on here.

Human oversight/error does happen, but I think it's just basic myLot etiquette to reply to comments.

As I often say, "I eventually get to them all." And generally I do. Often times I scroll way, way down just to go back into older posts to make sure, which usually generates MORE questions about why I am on such an old post to which I respond, "I eventually get to them all, and I do." lol Does it bother me if someone doesn't respond to me? Nah. Not much about that sort of thing bothers me. It's their loss. We could have made great conversation and lots of pennies together.

I have a couple of issues. I type my response, and then the net or power goes. (remember I live in India). Then ... I kinda develop fear for that post. LOL..Seriously, if I open it, will the net go...so I steer clear for a while, and reply elsewhere. Time of course is another issue. Third one is...a couple of comments or responses seem so similar that I feel if I have nothing new to add for now, and this person is somebody who deserves a more well thought out reply. So I leave. Fourth reason is... I have to think over on the comment. Sometimes I do miss out...but I assure you, it is not deliberate.

I do try to respond if at all possible. My time here has to be hit and miss unless it's the middle of the night, which sometimes it is. I try hard not to miss anything I should respond to--I think we all occasionally miss one or two, life happens and we cannot always keep up. All we can do is our best.
