Do you ever get the impression that...

Yes, I've gotten that. I've also gotten people who only read the subject title before responding (even though the subject title wasn't particularly relevant to the actual topic!). I just try to laugh and move on.

I have to admit though, if a discussion is longer than one page I might not read the entire thing- though if it's interesting enough, I do try to.

This never happened to me, but I already saw it in some discussions. People are just answering and answering the discussions too fast, to get the money, so they don't pay much attention to what is written.

We don't exactly know if its due to lack of understanding or lack of reading into the materials we post or it could be that our post struck them in a different way than what we expected them to understand. People have different views and different ways on how they react and how they think. Sometimes the message we want to project in our posts will not be understood the same way by all people. And other people are just lazy to read it all specially long responses like this one i'm making.

Take Care

I haven't had it happen a lot, but it has happened. I don't know if people don't read all the discussion, or if they read it wrong. I usually go back and re read what I wrote asking myself "what did I say to bring that on?" LOL I thing the person that stated people are just answering as many discussions as possible to get money was right on. It does take longer to read a discussion and understand fully what it's about.

Oh well some are here for money only, some to chat and some for both. You can usually tell the first catagory.:)

Ho boy I got a humdinger one time. I was responding to a discussion about interracial relationships/marriages. The originator was of mixed bloods, and so am I, being that I'm part Native American...I happened to remark in my response to the originator how not that long ago, we Native Americans were still considered heathen savages...well YIKES! Out of the blue this other person chimes in, telling me "for shame on you" for saying Native Americans were heathen savages...that she was an honor student and Native American and called me an outright bigot...like HUH? Well she may have been an honor student but she obviously didn't learn one thing...how to read...I AM NATIVE AMERICAN ..so how could I be a bigot?? I was given an example of the viewpoint of people that still existed prior to the late 1800s

I hate it when you MOVE on and you leave things behind, what do you do ring up and ask them to forward them to you or do you go back and collect them.

How many of us ever read the instructions of the new Washer/TV/electric what ever or one can say the same about cloths that we buy.

Do we ever read the CARE TAG, very rare to to.

Same with most things in life, we just crash through, them wonder why things are not working so good for us.

I tend to speed read but with that sometimes you can miss a word here and there, and this will change the outcome.
But most times it works.

In the end all works out OK.

OOPS, is a good word for most of this missing what the discussion is all about.

I responded to a discussion a long time ago....the lady started the discussion about cars....and went into spending time with the family...or when you like to spend time with them....she did it to see if her discussions were really being read. I read several of the responses and most of them responded to the car part only! I have had a few where I was confused by the response...so I asume they didn't read it all the way through.

I have been on both sides, often you see the topic and something you have experienced comes to mind, so, you start getting it down, oblivious to the fact your straying from the actual post.
Some people have responded to things i've posted and made little or no sense, thats just who we are I guess.

Sometimes, yes that happen when I give a mention (for a meaning of word that I have use in the discussion I start)in my replay for the first response to this discussion I have realized that 3 of other responses have not read the first post and the first comment of mine, maybe they read the discussion in a hurry to get more discussion to response.
have a good day my dear.

I am very new to mylots I will make it a point to read all the discussions before I give input
