read before answering

I usually try to get a pretty good idea about what others are saying, a minimum of half. Then, I offer a comment. I may be bad, but some responses require my attention before I respond to the original comment. It's just ADD and a wild tangent in another direction.

Generally I read the discussion and then if I have somehting to say or add I will immediately hit the respond button. AFter I have wrote my response then I check and see what others wrote....and it's funny cause sometimes I will see what I have said in a different way...and sometimes I will see some who have taken the discussion all wrong.

i open my mail first before i press the link to go to mylot page. so i can only read is the discussion alone. i can only read other members response if i post my response already. so i give my views on what i understand regarding the post. then i read others response because with this we can learn also a lot from others.

Hi kaleegirl, I am reading the post/topic first then type my response. If the topic includes or is related to previous post which I failed to read, I will read 1 or 2 responses to learn the detailed then go on typing my own message!

I skim most of the posts on the first page. I do that so I won't give an answer that's exactly the same as someone else. I also do that so I can try not to say anything too opposite of anyone else ether.

i just go right on typing as soon as i read the post, i really dont concern myself with what everyone else has to say cause that will affecrt what i originally had to say and i want to say what is on my mind.

On a normal I will just read the discussion and then answer. There are rare occassions where I will read some of the responses. I just feel like if I don't answer before reading what others write, I won't give a genuine answer; my own genuine answer.

Hi kaleegirl, Yes, I do....I read a post before I give my opinion. I also scan through other people posts but I have to say that their opinions do not have any effects on mine. I have my very own opinion and I will just write what I think or how I feel about that issue depends on the discussion. What about you?

Hi Kaleegirl, I do the same. I read the post and the responses and agree with them if I agree so I avoid to give the same response giving a comment in the response. But I need to say that seems that some persons don't read nor the post to give their responses lol. Time to time we find some responses that come from Mars.

Well,I do read clearly and slowly what the discussion starter has said. And whether I read others responses to that discussion depends on the number of posts/responses that the discussion has received. [b]According to mylot guidelines,you must read all the posts before answering. [/b] But,I think about 85% of mylotters don't usually do that.One thing is your idea may get combined with someone else idea and you won't know what to say or you might get into a position where you don't have enough thing to say. So,normally most of the mylotters don't read others post all the time,even though its against mylot guidelines. Cheers! Have a good day Happy mylotting and happy earnings.
