How does comenting to responces hours later make you feel?

Hi Jul14ncho, I tend to find it hard to comment on responses after I have been to sleep and returned to mylot on a new day. In the beginning most of the discussions I started were about mylot and they tended to be resolved before I left, so coming back and replying to them didn't seem worthwhile. I would give it a shot because I know it it's polite and the right thing to do, but without that continued interest in the discussion itself I couldn't manage more than say 2 comments at a time . Currently I don't start many discussions because I know I don't comment very much, but the ones I have started have been worthwhile and I have kept up with them, even days after I posted them. I generally try and comment on them all, though if there is a one liner I will skip it to cut down on the workload if there are more than 15 responses to check. I don't always notice if people respond to my comment though. In the beginning I expected to be notified when that happened, so I never checked until I went back to catch up on old commenting and noticed people had responded. I was a touch annoyed too as one had been really interesting. Luckily the person was alerted the second time too and we continued it, but I hate to think that I missed other conversation chances because of that All the best, Dranz

Hello jul14nch0 I also try to make a comment as soon as I can. Like one of the other responses said that there is so many different time zones that you cant always answer them as soon as they are posted. I think the best thing is too respond to them when you can. That is the best way and the most respectful way. Dont worry about it and continue doing what you can and when you can..Have a nice day..

I dont mind as we are all in different parts of the county and even if we werent we all have different schedules. I also get emails that let me know when someone has responded to my discussions. I do respond to all replies on my discussions unless it totally doesnt make sense, as in I have read some that it is obvious the person didnt even read the discussion and only the heading and then guess what it was about. That does irritate me! I have just responded to a reply to one of my discussions from months ago. It doesnt bother me at all.

Hi Julianch0 I guess it is a pretty common thing, we all can't reply to all our responses as they keep coming in, and also people from different time zones will respond to your discussions and mostly also when you are sleeping and in the morning you will find them, i don't think there is anything much to concern about if you are responding to them a few hours later as long as you are responding to them, hmm at the beginning too i felt like i was missing something when i responded to them late but now it doesn't matter me much . . . have a nice day!

i feel the same excitement the first time i responded on the first posts. i know they will still find out how i responded on to their comments because i do the same too. i checked on my email so often to check on responses to my comments aside from the new discussions started by my mylot friends! let's continue to enjoy myloting!

I try to respond to comments which makes sense. If they are just padding and there is no issue to answer too, I will leave those alone and ensure my precious time is spent elsewhere. Once I have made my best response decision, that's about it.

Well, like others have said everyone here lives in different time zones, so we are all coming in here and posting at different times. And some of us work Full time jobs, while others may go to school, or others are staying home just hoping to earn some Extra money doing stuff online as well. It really can be interesting when you try to keep up and post back to others posting here to your discussions as well. But I do try to respond if I can and keep the discussions still going for sure.

most people here are on different time zone's and other countries if its sunday here its monday in japan so if i get a response no matter when it comes it's ok with me.

I have to agree with the first responder...we have members from all over the world posting here so there are going to be delays in getting responses to discussions. A good rule of thumb is to check your discussions every day for a couple of days. You don't have to comment under each response, especially if you get a lot, but this way you can see the responses that come in later on.

MyLot would normally send me an email telling me that my discussion topic has received a response and I would log in and comment on the response and I hope that the responder would also be notified when I've commented on his/her response so that he/she knows that his/her response is not ignored. I do hate it when my response is totally ignored but at times there are responses that don't require a comment as when it's just a statement of fact.
