Does any one respond to every friends discussion

February 10, 2007 11:24am CST
I have a simple and honest question here, does anyone actually respond to everyone of their friends discussions, every day. Personally I respond to things that interest me or concern me. I don't mind you being my friend but I would never able to respond to each and every one of their discussions. Sorry but I have to honest there so if anyone who is on my friends list is offended by this thats okay, you can remove yourself very easily from my friends list. Just wanted to be honest.

I only respond to discussions I know about or have views on. It's a waste of time otherwise. Plus it makes me appear as if I'm just putting anything in just to earn a little more. & thats cheap :)

I read every single discussion my friends start every single day. I have notify set on "on" so I get emailed when they start a new discussion. I only respond if I have something to add. I hate it when people just respond for the sake of responding. If I have something to say or add, I will do it. I think that is what you have friends for. Then, I will go to the NEW DISCUSSIONS part and read thru and find discussions that interest me to respond on.

I usually respond to topics that interests me or that catches my attention. I am still new to MyLot, but slowly learning how to maneuver around the site.

i respond only to the discussion that i want to respond , but there is many post doesn't need an answer or the words ran away from me , or sometimes i don't want to read or write , but i am not worry from blaming me because they well not , you know why ?! simply because they didn't respond to me so it is OK for me and them .

Yes, you are right, no one can respond to each discussion of friends. It is practically not possible. Only the discussion which appeal me are replied. Good Post!

I dont think I could respond to every discussion that every friend on my list starts. I only respond to the discussions that I have something to contribute. I think that as long as you respond once in a while, that should be enough for most friends. I had one friend delete me, aparently I wasnt responding to enough of her discussions. I dont expect or even ask that my friends respond to my discussions. The only friends that I have deleted havent logged on in over a month. Take care!!

I am new here but the 1st place I go to respond it the on the side for friends links. I will respond to all that I can leave an intelligent answer. But I do look in friends before I go to my interests. Help a brother out.

I go to my friends discussion first if the discussion applies to me than I respond if it does not I skip it. I like to support my friends first then I go to everyone elses discussion. I am just being honest.

They do not reply. In the beginning you try alot to make friends here and in the end you don't even get a single response from any of them on daily basis. The real meaning of Mylot is that you also get responses from your friends. Mylot is a community and in a community only one can not shout all the time. Everybody must give their opinions but with a quality too.

It is not practically possible for anyone to give reply to all the topics of his friends. One can give reply or comment on the topics which interests him. Ofcourse a person who does not have any other work except surfing internet, can only have the time and patience to acknowledge each and every msg/topic.

I try to respond to all my friends discussion... but yes you are right its not possible to respond to everyones discussion and everyone is well aware of it, so no one has to feel bad about it, everyone has to respect the effort everyone take in here to help each other and earn some money...

Well I read all the discussiosn I get notifications on. I only respond though if I have something to say to the discussion. Where I can add to it, make a comment or what have you. I won't post to it just to post. There is no reason for doing that. I'd much rather share an opinion, point of view or what have you on something that interests me then to just post a few lines that don't mean much.

If someone was really doing that then it would be for the sole purpose of making more posts and just for the money, it sure wouldn't be out of 'courtesy' to friends! I too respond to discussions that interest me and not otherwise. A friend may make 15 posts in a day and not one would be in my interest, those discussions go unanswered that's it!

First I respond to my friends discussion and if I have time left I go to other peoples discussions.

I know exactly what you mean. I have been unable to bring myself to reply to every discussion started by my friends and would hope that they don't take offence and understand that unless I know enough about a subject I won't comment. If I have something of value to add to a discussion I will do so but I really don't have time to respond to every discussion my friends start, especially when some people are starting 10-15 discussions a day quite often. It wouldn't be fair on my other friends if I responded to just one person's discussions, I like to spread out my time evenly. Honesty is the best policy hun! x
