You always say "Thank You"? email this discussion to a friend?

Most of the time when I check out topics posted by the myLotters I notice the topic originator responding "Thank You" to his/her respondents. Thanking people is a good thing but in a way it ends a possible conversation with one respondent. It's like saying, "Thank you for your response. Next respondent, please."

You often thank your topics' respondents? Why?

Well i personally try to say something else. I think lots of people can get annoyed if you say thank you for your response because you receive an email and you want to read it. Then you find out that someone only said Thank toy for your response. I don't mind if someone adds a comment to my response saying thank you for your response because it is better than getting no comments i guess.

Thank you for your response.

Well, I think this is the first time in a long time that I posted this one in a response. lol I agree, in a way, that a "Thank you" for a response gives me the thought that my idea or point is appreciated by the respondee.

I do thank people for responding because they have taken the time to participate in my discussion and I am most certainly grateful for that! To be honest I have not found it to be a conversation killer at all. Keep in mind though that if the discussion does continue with a particular member I don't keep on thanking them each and every time they re-respond either! Personally I feel obliged to be grateful but I also don't go in for an overkill!


myLot reputation of 88/100. fedge098 (973)   ranked 1,581 out of 32,492 in mylot.com  1 year ago

Yes, I agree with you. It's just most of the time, "Thank you for your response." is the only reply I see in most of the discussions I have read. Although the number of better responses to respondents are higher than a "Thank you". I sometimes feel that the idea of discussing isn't always a success.

Very often,when I get a response,I try to write some lines.
And in the end,I write thanks.
But if I get more than 10 responses,I find it hard to write more than 1-2 lines.
Sometimes,the response doesn´t interest me,beacuse some people write down lots of other things.
I don´t want to be unpolite,so I write thanks


myLot reputation of 88/100. fedge098 (973)   ranked 1,581 out of 32,492 in mylot.com  1 year ago

I personally think that its okay to skip on those responses that of little interest to the respondee. In fact, it is an item in the myLot To Do's -

# 6. Please make sure you give your best effort to respond with quality responses. If you don’t know how to respond to a discussion, go on to the next one. Answers like “I don’t know” or “I don’t care” don’t help anyone and will be removed.

Woot. After reading the above, I now understand. A simple "Thank You" may be the best effort to respond with quality responses by a respondee.

Also, it said here the word "quality responses", so I guess we are not obliged to say "Thank you" to our respondents.


myLot reputation of 82/100. Mickey_Mouse1 (894)   ranked 3,251 out of 32,492 in mylot.com  1 year ago

I have thought many times,not to send back a word,to these response that doesn´t interest me.
But I have been learnt to be polite.
And it cost so little to say thank you.
In the real life,we also should smile more to each other.
Beacuse,it´s also a thing that´s free

I almost always say thank you whenever I have the time. It is only showing a sign of respect and acknowledgement and it does not cost a cent. Saying thank you is a sign of good will. Happy myloting and all the best.

yes i think it´s a good idea to thank the people that respond to your discussions,but first try to comment a little on what they answered and then thank them so it doesn´t feel like you´re telling them, thanks, next.
If people take the time to respond to our discussions well then we should be grateful and thank them but not make them feel the conversation is over.
