Why would you answer a discussion with over 100 responses?

I am responding to this one after you have given the best response just like I would respond to one with a hundred or more responses. Usually if it is an easy question it will get a lot of responses that do not need to be read. Kind of like "Do you like red?" You know what I am talking about and those of you who start these know who I am talkin' about.

I answer any and all discussions that I can relate to. I usually don't read every response other members make to the discussion unless it is very interesting and I am looking for some knowledge from it. It doesn't really matter how many responses are already made though. I may not read them all either but I skim through some of the responses. I have some discussions with over 100 responses and I either respond to them all or read and rate them all.

I do that if the topic is something that I like or interests me somehow. I think we must keep good discussions alive.

i never seen a discussion with 100 or 200 but i think maybe those discussion is too easy to answer or so attractive or so augment .

I answer my friends discussions no matter what number of responses they have because I am pretty sure, having noticed that their comment are personalized to my response, they have been read. I think that the users who answer discussions not caring whether their responses are read are only posting for the money.

I don't respond to topics like that unless it really interests me and I feel like I have something really important to add. I just think with a discussion with that many responses my response would just be another response on the list and probably wouldn't get read.

I don't usually respond to discussions with that high a count either. Most of the discussions I respond to are new discussions. I like my response to be on the first or second page so it's more likely the poster will read my response. I'm lazy too. If one of my discussions gets a ton of responses, then I'm likely to stop replying. I mean after a certain point, people's responses tend to all say pretty much the same thing and I feel silly replying saying the same thing that I did for someone else's response. ~Kythe42 http://lemurianphoenix.blogspot.com
