Why is it a lot of members don't

I think it's because some are here to start discussions & post responses. It seems that the rumor is that's what generates the maximum amount of cash. If people knew that they usually do get credited for "comments" - leaving a reply to a response, they might do so more often. I am certain that the responses are read by the author of the original discussion. If any one of them are like me, either they just don't have an answer or whatever answers they can think of, they just cannot put it into words.

I try to most of the time, sometimes I do slack off and don't bother but you are right, it's rude not too. I was actually told from when I joined 4 months ago that 'thanking' people was against mylot rules. So I do try to say more than just 'thank you' but sometimes even that is hard LOL

Well, I may not always get to my discussions I start right away, but I do go in and try to respond back to anyone who responds to any of my discussions. I also then go in and check out one of their Discussions that they have started and try to respond to something I am interested in as well. I feel that is should be important especially when a person chooses to discuss something, to go in and read and respond back to the people who post there so you can see how others relate with you as a whole. Maybe not all people see it this way, and they never post that a person should respond back to anything they start, so maybe that could be part of the reason here as well.

i thought of that too, but when i see they have so many answers, its just really hard to answer. and some replies are not worth it. but i agree, a discussion is with talking in both ways. what i dont like is, when they start a good thread, but do not explain what they think or why they started it. and lots of people start one after another to get more money. now i go occasonally to my answers and look for the replies, except for the friends im sure dhey answer

You can check my discussions to see that I always concern on responding for comments made for my dicussions by other users. I found it like you a good manner to be done.

discussions of 3-4 days old does not mean that those wil get responses. Responses totally depend on the importance of your discussions

I agree with what you say. But I believe the discussion starter probably run out of different ways to comment on the many responses. Also some are out to make money by posting many discussions and hardly make a comment to the responses. They have no time to waste on replies that do not generate cents for them. Some may genuinely have a lack of time to response to the many comments to their discussions.

Definitely agree with you. I take the time to see what kind of responses I have on my discussions and if it warrants a response to theirs than I respond. Keep in mind mylot doesn't want you saying thank you for whatever reason they have. It is supposed to be a true quality response. I try to always go back and look at the responses I have gotten. It is as you say good manners and shows the responder that you appreciate him taking the time to respond to your discussion.

I think it's probably because it says in the rules not to thank everyone for their comment but that doesn't mean they couldn't respond to a few. I also think its good manners, isn't that why they are called discussions, so you can discuss the topic?
