If you get more than 50 responses to a discussion,would you comment on all?  

Yeah. Just like you i will try my best to comment on each response i recieve. Its also a matter of showing them that i appreaciate their response no matter how short or long they are. Though most of the time i admit i sometimes fail to leave a comment on every response since i lack out of time.

Dear, I can't even get more than 2 to comment on my started discussion. That was how pathetic the discussion I had started on. Anyway, I did stick to general topic, such as Madonna and also rain. But I guess I don't have the magic to attract contributors. But 50? I don't think I have the energy to reply all.

I comment on all the responses that I receive on my discussions whether there are 10 or a 100. Even if they are only one line responses I always seem to have a comment that I can leave. I'm a chatterbox offline too so I guess that has something to do with it

I find it interesting to comment and learn something about the user who responded and when some of them come back and comment on my comment that is perfect! I have a huge amount of patience and never really find that it needs patience to comment, If I start a discussion it is interest rather than patience which makes nme want to go back and acknowledge each and every response that I receive.

The highest number of responses that I got ever since I started here in mylot is around 120 responses. I never expect that the volume of responses will increase that way. I really do not know on how will I respond to all of them, so what happened is I was able to respond only about 40 responders. Now, what I did for me to comment in all the responses that was given to my discussion, I check from time to time if there is someone who responded in my discussion and once I found out that there is someone,I easily give comment, so i get to manage all the responses even though it is really many. thanks for sharing. have a great day!

I respond to all sensible posts as I think it is only polite to do so. They, after all, took the time to contribute so it is only fair to return the compliment.

I normally don't bother with 'one liners' mainly because they often have no content to comment on. When I write a 'one liner' I expect a similar response to 'keep the pot boiling', as it were.

Hi there, well before i dont really give back response to anyone who responded to my discussion. Its only lately that i do give response to them and now i really have time commeting to them. Its proper for them to know that i appreciated their comments with my discussion so i really give my time to give comments to them whether its only 1 liner or long. Keep on mylotting.

I have a discussion that no reponse at all. I would comment back if there were any. I do try to respond to any comments to my discussions.

Hi oindy, I haven't had to deal with this dilemna yet and don't really expect to, my discussions really tend to run out of steam way before that, I think the most responses i have generated is just over 30. I learnt a lesson from that though, it is quite hard to think of good comments back to all on a limited subject so now I try to broaden the topic a bit if I think it could lead to a discussion rather than just a question i want an answer to. I would comment back on all responses unless they were personally attacking me which I would ignore.

When we post a topic we hope to have responses so I know to try and post something I am interested enough in myslef to keep the discussion going no matter how many responses it generates. I couldn't bear to be bored by my own discussion.

HI & WELCOME TO MYLOT!! I have had a few discussions with overa 100 responses, and YES I have responded to every single person, sometimes 2 & 3 times if they comment back to my comment. I think it is very important to acknowledge each & every person that responds to your posts. If you don't do this, then we have a tendoncy to NOT respond to any of your other postings. At least his is my experience, & i've been here 4 years....Lori

I will try to respond to each response as much as I can, but I do not think that I am able to do that.
If I get more than fifty responses for a discussion, I hope mylotters can understand that I can not comment on all.
