how many people actually check their posts and respond to people that reply to your discussion? i try to check my at least every couple of days because its interesting to know what people think about my thoughts.

I get e-mail forwarding so I respond within 12 hours to anything posted to one of my discussions. I think it is discourteous not to.

I do check them regularly. I do check the responses of my discussons as well as posts I responded as and when I recieve the mail from mylot. I mostly check the responses than responding other posts. What about you, Do you post and check the responses or what is the order. cheers

i tend to go back and forth. i used to have the email alerts, but my mailbox would get really crowded with responses sometimes and decided to take them off. i found that checking them in between discussions allows me to really have a more "live" discussion.

I always check the responses to my discussion... i receive an email alert if there is a new response to any of my discussions... i like it that way because i comment to almost all of them... (i rarely comment of oneliners)... that way... those who responded will feel that their time and effort in sharing their idea is well appreciated...

I do it daily. As much as I can I respond to responses to my discussions, even responses to responses if needed. I see to it that I'm the last guy to respond. Unfortunately, Lately I am experience responses that didn't reach my mail. I'm surprise to see them only on my summary. I've check my settings and they are all fine.

I do check my posts form time to time and do respond to those who responded to it. Knowing others opinions and sharings really helps to keep you going. I agree with you, it is really interesting to know what people think about our thoughts.

I try to respond back to everyone, even if it is just a simple thank you for their opinion. I usually give it a couple of days per discussion, then go back and respond to everyone all at once and rate them at the same time.

I have the notify button on for all my friends so I get emails when they add a response. Then I add a comment as I read their responses. I have done this since day one here over a year ago and still do it dilligently. I feel they are called "disucussions" therefore we need to add comments to the responses otherwise I look at them as just words for us to read. Sometimes I spend hours here just ading comments to all the responses I get and don't have time to start new discussions. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

I can't understand why anyone would start a discussion and not read the responses. I would not bother to respond to a discussion if I thought the person who started it would not read my response. They have asked a question, or asked for an opinion, advice or information, and I have responded. I am wasting my time if my response is not read!

The members that do this are the ones that are hoping to make that quick dollar is all. I have had friends in my list that did that and I deleted them quickly as I felt I was wasting my time in their "discussions" where they were not participating in it themselves. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

I agree. And the people who do this to make a quick buck fail to understand that an active discussion will get more responses and earn more for the person who starts it. A discussion with no comments earns less because it does not stay active for long and gets fewer responses.

I used to check it daily but of lately, I've been getting busy with other stuff - my other hobbies - and foruming has just taken a step back. I'm trying not to feel guilty about not maintaining my 30 over post per day thing but it's just too tiring to go through every thing daily.

Yeah, any responses I get are sent to my email and then I get an instant alert through my instant messenger, so I pretty much respond instantly.
