Have you experienced this. Just when you have a great discussion, you logged in and just about to post your discussion only to find out that other member already posted the same discussion just several minutes or hours ago. What do you do? Do you still start such discussion or just think of a new and better discussion.

Yeah, this happens all the time, but i dun care.. I will still post it.. Because if it's to other member's interest, i'm sure that they won't mind responding to it again, since it's to their gain too.. haha
But there are times whereby i'm a day late for my discussion, and i will give up on posting them because it's similiar to my frenz.. So i will rather respond to hers, and see how many respond she gets, so that i know if my direction is right.. lol =D
Even for now, when i see duplicate discussions, i will still reply to them, because i dun start much discussions.. lol

Lol, I noticed a lot of that going around. I don't post but have seen many, many, many duplicate discussions within minutes of each other, or hours... I rarely post a discussion anyway, I have more fun replying;)

No, I answer one, maybe a second one, if it pops up a couple of days later, but that's it. Otherwise it would get boring for me. There is nothing gained in dishing out the same answer over and over again.

This always happens to me... i have this great idea for a discussion but when i search it... it has already been started... but i found a way around that... by making the discussion my own... by that i mean... i give it a different flare... like adding my own personal experience to it... so that usually turns it into an original discussion...

i never had the fortune or misfortune(as you say) of having to read my own thoughts in some other discussions here... i said it was fortunate to see your own thoughts etched here because you have found someone who thinks along the same wavelength as you.. you can be sure to get along with that person with little or no effort as the person may be able to understand your discussions better than anyone else... if you see anyone like this, just hold on to that person and make mylotting a happier experience..
