things you have already posted on? I have posted things before and gotten no responses or only a few then someone else posts the same thing and they get more responses. I have even seen more than 1 person do it. I tried responding to their disussion and telling them but they never answer me.
What do you do when it happens to you? Are there ways to avoid this from happening?

Yeah, this has also happened to me. just like another post said it was probably just better timing or more friends. I guess some people don't think to run a search before starting a discussion. sorry this is happening to ya, smile:)

Thank you. I always try to research before I post to stop these kind of things from happen,but I know sometime si'ts unavoidable but 2 people posted the same thing as me? Sounds a little off. Thanks my friend.

Look at is this way, you are getting responses on this discussion, which I believe it is a good one. I am sometimes guilty of this because I simply did not know that the topic has already been discussed. I'm thinking in my head that I have a great discussion to post just to find out it has already been posted like a few hours ago.
What's really new to talk about around here? LOL

I know I have come pretty close to doing the same thing,it was completely by accident and I'm sure the people that did this didn't mean to,but when I brought it to their attention they should have atleast talked to me about it,I would if I did it.

I am not sure that we can avoid this from happening....and YES, it has happened to me as well...it is alitlle annoying I have to admit...I do not think that they worded it any better than I did....but got tons more response....
I have decided that this does not deserve the energy it takes from me to feel upset about it...if I would allow it to put me in a bad mood ...who wins from that???? Nobody...so I try to ignore it and go on...you know the saying about:
God, Grant me the strength to change the things I can, to accept the things I can not change...and the wisdom to know the difference".....well, that has to be my point of view on this...
While I know it violates myLot rules...and to cut and paste your discussion is a valid reason to be upset....I did have one member who began a discussion that was almost the same as one of mine...she posted an apology on my original post....I truly apreciated and respected her for this..as many would not have done so.
I am sorry, my friend that this problem is causing you some stress...Try not to let it get you down!!

Well they might not have known you had started a discussion. They may have gotten more responses becuase they have more friends or they have posted the topic in a particular interest.
