when you are choosing threads to respond

All my friends are set to notify on, so their discussions come right to a folder in my email. Then I can go right down the list and respond to the ones that I am able to. If there is not enough there, though normally there are, I go to the NO response list. I find neat new people and help them at the same time. In your case, you caught my eye when I double checked my response number by my name and looked down to see your discussion that said that you started 20 discusssions. That is awesome in itself so I thought I would take a minute and so far have responded to few of your discussions. Since you are an 8 I also plus you, despite the fact that I use the plus sign on most my discussions I respond to anyway. Good luck with this site and be patient and follow the guidelines and you will do fine.

i chose to pick discussion to respond in new discussions. but sometimes i also respond to top but mostly on new.

I always pick new... Always something to respond to :-)
