Am I bad for not doing this? Most have no best response selected...... Should I?

Hmmmm Several ways to look at this one. Some people go to allot of trouble to give what they may think is a good answer to a question and their reward is a BR. The competitive love this, it's the reason they get up in the morning!As you have experienced the niceness of receiving a BR, then perhaps giving is as rewarding. Bookkeeping - is part of a clean office, finalising accounts. Putting the filing in the right spot helps too. Unresolved discussions is like having a pile of files on the floor. Filing is an onerous job, usually people hire an office worker and pay them a pittance for this mundane boring job. But you feel very good once the files are in their right place and you have space on the floor to walk. Receiving BR also helps with peoples ratings so you could be doing them a favor. Giving means earning brownie points or karmic credits! Hmmm, or you can do whatever you like. Having choice is good like that.

I often times don't choose a best response, at least not right away. Many times the thread remains open because members keep posting. If members keep posting, it would mean you would probably have to go back and choose another best response. You can wait a while and then go back and choose if you want to, but I think it's more important to give the positive feedback to those who give constructive answers to your discussions.

It doesn't make you a bad person if you don't mark BR....but the other person feels nice when they get a BR...like I felt when you gave me one a few days back:) It was a pleasant surprise.

I wouldn't go back and hit all the ones you've done so far...lol lordy you may go crazzzzzzy. Know biggie either way. If it bugs ya just try this time forward if it doesn't bug ya don't worry about it.

I don't think that we're obliged in giving Best Response on every dicussion that we start. It solely depends if you really think that the user deserves it.

Hey, cmon, return the favor! I go through my post every 2 days to ensure that i have gotten the appropriate number of responses, or lackthereof, then i pick a best response. Some people will only do a best response when something really catches their eye, which is fine too, as long as you do it sometimes...but then again you have the freedom to do as you please, but it really does feel good to get a best response,why not share that feeling?

Id say it is nice to give best response as people do like to receive them. But id say just start doing that from this point on mabey do a few of your old ones here and there but I dont think id want to go thru a whole bunch if you havent been doing it all along.

I am also not that much upto the mark in this respect. i am trying to catch up. today till now i have marked BR to more than 60 discussion. i think I can clear them quickly.

If you take a look at your left sidebar, you will see "my unresolved discussions"; those are your discussions awaiting a best response. You will keep on accumulating those until you give a best response. It is good to tie everything up with a nice ribbon and give someone else the satisfaction of a best response, which you yourself feel so good about.Cheers!!

If it were me, I would go back and award those best responses. I have to do some of that myself. Thats not to say that you have to do them all at once though. I started at the back and worked forward. I worked on 10 or so a day so that I would have time for discussions as well.

I think you should do this... all of those topics are in unresolved topics saction and they will stay there until you select BR. If I am making any topic I'm always giving BR price. Now I have only 3 topics left without BR, but it's just a matter of time. Cheers and happy myloting.
