What do you think when you check a response you made and there is nothing?

Well i agree with you.If thats a response i have given much time and thought, i have shown ways of solving problems or have proof for or against the writer, then i would like to see him/her respond to my comment.This way i would know it was read and understood.However, in most topics i dont feel bad when i have got no comments.

I do get a little let down about it but I try not to take it personally. I know I am behind on responding to my own discussions and there are many that I will probably never get back to. It certainly doesn't mean that all those unanswered posts weren't important to me, I just ran out of time to get them all answered. So when one of my response doesn't get answered I try very hard to assume that they are having a hard time mkeeping up too. Sometimes I just can't help but feel disappointed though. I have one person on my list that I really tried to reach out to. I answered every single discussion they started with some very helpful (in my opinion) information but never got one single response, I was hurt until I discovered that she is one of those uses that does not comment back on any of her discussions nor does she participate in anyone else's. I still respond to her but don't put in as much effort.

From my experiences here there is way to much of this occuring. I start a discussion and usually try to add a comment to many of my responses. Some members don't want to take the time to do this as it doesn't really add to their earnings. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

Is it just your response that doesn't get a reply or is it everyone of that particular discussion? If it's just yours, yeah, I be mad as heck especially if I wrote a really long response to the discussion. If it's everyone though then maybe either one, the person is just the type that doesn't reply back period which kind of defeats the idea of a "discussion" or two, just hasn't had the chance to reply yet. I'm a bit guilty of this, as I've gotten so far behind in replying to responders with all this extra work I've been doing, like articles, my crafts, my photo work. Sometimes I despair of ever catching up, and gee, forget my trying to backtrack and give best responses! I have pages of those to do

I usually try hard to comment on responses that have looked like some thought went into it. However as of late it has been hard to even find time to get on here so that has slowed down. Also I hate that every time I make a comment it takes me back to the first page of my discussion also. I usually don't mind if I don't get a comment to my response but yes if I put a lot of effort or shared something close to me, it is nice to be noticed for it. You are always great at commenting on responses and I find that it makes us closer when we do. Hope that I can get more active in the new year. Vicki

Hi,there! I cared about the writer's opinion towards my responses at the very beginning but nowadays I could understand if there's nothing.Because sometimes mylotters here are also busy with some other things and can't afford all the time to answer the responses.I can understand that very well cause I myself sometimes have the problem.But I take a look at every response to my discussion and I value them pretty much though maybe I don't have enough time to answer them:) I do cherish those opinions or suggestions.I won't think the writer are not serious about my response.Thanks for the discussion and have a nice day^_^

There are certain of my friends who never comment on the responses to discussions. It is not paid. More important, to me anyway, is that I get a rating. I have no way of telling if they rate me. If I provide them what they need, some of them will reply.

There are a few posts that I wait to see if the writer of discussion responds to my comment, but most of them I just write them and wait.If the person doesn't write back , I think either they haven't gotten to it yet, they read it and had nothing to say, or they started the post and never went back to read the comments.I don't get angry about it. If you comment on any of my posts and I haven't written you back, it is because I didn't have anything to add.your post said it well and said it all. I rate Everything I read even though I don't respond to every post.But if you asked me a question and I haven't gotten to you,it means I have been a little busy and I will answer it.

If you want to know what I REALLY think, ctry, I'll tell you. I think that sometimes people do become bogged down and fall behind, making it difficult to catch up again. It has happened to me. On the other hand, there are those who are simply doing as many discussions as possible to earn money and don't give a rat's a$$ about what the responders are saying.

I've noticed that from time to time and I chock it up to maybe they aren't as serious about the issue as I was, or just commenting trying to inprove their earnings or traffic or something non related to the discussion. Sometimes I'll respond back, other times not as I choose when and where I spend my time.

I no longer respond to discussions posted by mylotters who ignore my responses. I'm not in this for the money, I'm in it for the conversation. Nor do I respond to future discussions by anyone who replies with nothing more than "thanks for the response". Do you think Steve Earle is country or rock?

I agree with you, but there are times I don't have anything to add to the response, so I don't comment. But if someone is asking me a question I will definitly answer it with a comment. I read all the responses I get from my discussions and I rate them a postive if it warrents it, which is almost always. Or if someone gives me some important information that helped me or just gave me more knowledge, I will comment. But most of the time there is nothing to add or say to the response.

ctrymuziklvr-I love your responses to my questions. I have seen you ask similar things before. I think that you might take a little too much into a lack of response. I only respond if I have something more to say. I won't respond just for the sake of responding. There are a lot of good responses out there, and it isn't always easy to get back to all of them. Sometimes there is a time issue, other times, there just isn't anything left to say... Don't get discouraged. Sure there are some who start conversations for the sake of conversations and often for more responses, but it is all good. There are people out there who really like your responses and are thankful you work hard to make good ones! I know, I am one of them!

I usually always respond back and when people answer mine- here I am still responding back- while I don't always agree nor them with me- it's fun to discuss. I get a little bummed maybe if they don't but then again maybe they were done arguing that point or can't think of a response- who knows?

I always leave my discussions as "unresolved discussions" untill i see that no one else is responding to it anymore so that i can go back and respond to the responses. Although i usually forget to go back and check OTHER peoples discussions that i respond to, to see if they responded to my response. I have just turned my email me when s omeone resposenes to my response option, but so far today it has not been working so maybe i have to wait untill the next update to start receiving them again.

yes i do feel like they just did not even read my response or if they did they did not really like it enough to respond.Sometimes a lot of mylotters open a lot of discussions and it takes time for them to respond.

Quite true!!!! I really feel bad if writer dnt response when i give serious response of their topic!!:)

If the author did not reply to any of the other posts in their topic, I wouldn't mind and would just assume that the starter was either busy, lazy, or just didn't feel like responding to the responses they received for whatever reason. If however, the author replied to quite a few of the other responses, and not mine (assuming my response was carefully thought out and such), I would be slightly dissapointed. That only really applies to my responses that take something like 15+ minutes to write, most of my responses to a discussion are written in under 15 minutes, so I end up not minding at all whether or not the author replies to my response.
