do you respond to a discussion in which the best response was already selected?

i still do for some of the discussion are on my email and sometimes when i am busy i can not go log in at mylot. i do catch up when i am not around. if the discussion is that good that i want to say my views then i will still respond. i meta few newbies that hit the best response on the first responder they get... i joke around and react for choosing the best response even the discussion was just a few minutes ago... but still i give what i have in mind regarding the discussion. it is just funny to see that they hit the best response on the first response they got. how can they say that was the best if there was nothing to compare it with.

Hello venkittaraman.
Yeah...why not?
I am responding to a discussion if I have something to say, or if this discussions is interesting for me...
There is no reason to not responding - even if the best response is not already selected how could I know that my response will be selected for 'best response'?
Keep posting and happy myloting!

Yes, I am sure i have lots of times. I respond for the discussion.
I really don't pay attention to the best responses. It's nice to receive them:)
But I love to answer good discussions- it Doesn't matter to me if it is old.

I respond to discussions in which the best response is already selected only if I think I have something that worths saying, something that nobody else wrote and might be interesting, otherwise I guess it's useless to repeat always the same ideas.

ya why not, i actually dont look at it.
i responds if the discussion is answerable for me

Umm no I don't. I only respond to unresolved discussions. I personally think that when the best response has been chosen then it means the discussion starter has found a solution. There's no problem to still respond it though, it's just my personal preference.

It does not actually matter for me whether the best response was already chosen or not since i would really like to contribute my ideas to certain topics and i would even be happy just knowing that i shared my thoughts regarding a certain topic.

Yes, I still response to discussion which best response is already selected because what I after is the discussion of the topic. For me being selected as a Best Response is just additional for me..
