[Rantings] I am Puzzled..

Yeah, i do get what u mean.. For we can think what we wan and talk in anyway we like, because there's no way to prove it.. lol =D BUt when it comes to doing, it's a completely different thing, as doing it is not as simple as plain talking.. It takes courage and confidence.. hehe

Haha, it sounds very logical and realistic when we put it in writing, but how many of us actually act on what we think. Majority of us will talk the talk, but not walk the talk, if you get what I mean.

Lol It will take a really determine person to be able to stick to their own words and carry out what they say. No double standards one would say. But how many people can actually claim that they are that? I can't.

Thanks for your tips! =D I found that it is not that easy after a few of my discussion went without any response. Lol, and these are the discussions that I really need advice on. Haha, but I guess I cannot be demanding being new and all. I see what you mean though. The more I post, the more people will notice me and the more responses I will get. Hehe. Thanks for responding!! I really appreciate it ^o^

Always happy to help! Thanks to YOU for the BR! Take care and have fun!

I totally agree with you on that. Topics that might attract ourselves might not be of much interest to others, similarly topics of interest to others might not be so to us. And we cannot do anything about this, as everybody's interest and hobbies will vary from individual. Being on Mylot for so long, and active for 2 months, I came to realise that posting topics in the wee nights at around 3am in Singapore will usually generate lots of responses as it is day time in America, and that is where the majority of active Mylotters come from. Also, I realised that discussions that might just get started only 5 minutes ago on a peak hour will get buried all the way to the 10th page. And usually the interesting topics and discussions for me is not at the top of the discussion pages. Many a times, my discussion do get buried under tons of new discussions, and responses from the friends that I have made online somehow manages to save the discussion from the graveyard. Lol =D Lol.. I do realise what you mean about commenting at a later time will 'push' my discussion up to top page once again. It's the same with your response. It came after months of posting this topic with no response. Oh well, thanks for the tips and advices given. At the same time, thanks for responding to my discussion! Take care and happy mylotting!!

Well, that is indeed good news eh? More time to chat on mylot. And at the same time, lesser work load on the job front! Good beginning to a new year eh? Well, I sure look forward to more of your discussions then! See you around. OH, before I forget... Happy New Year!

I sure love it when there's an actual conversation going on within a discussion started. That is what i would call a real discussion going on. Hehe, yeah, I must say that I am considered to be lucky as I do have lots of lengthy conversation going on within a discussion. Thanks to friends like yourself and ahkun =D Rest assure! I would try to have some lengthy discussions going on in those that you have started. Hehe, I am getting more and more free time on my hands le, because MAS wants the company to wrap up all cases by mid-January! So, I could say that I am happy now. Lol and so, I will have more time to chat with all of you friends! In the past, I used to care about how many responses I would have in a discussion. However, strangely as time goes by, and the longer I stayed on Mylot, I no longer care any longer. You are very right to say that as long as we have a few good friends who can chit-chat and keep a discussion lively, there's no need to have hundreds of meaningless responses in comparison. Thanks for responding!! Take care!

I had always wondered about the same thing myself. Lol, it seems like poll type of questions get a lot of responses but when you post something that requires thinking on the other party's part, you won't get any responses for them. I had really wondered why. There are a few discussions I started where I really wanted advice from people as I was so confused myself, but funnily enough, there was not a single response at all. Haha, I am not sure whether it was because it was too difficult for people to respond to or was it because they were never in that situation, as such, unable to give proper advice and thus, decided not to give any responses. However, when I post 'poll' questions like giving people a choice between two or three items, majority of the time, I get lots of responses. Lol. Hmm.. I think I am tagging them properly or perhapes not. Hehe, I might have had been doing something wrong here. It's just difficult for me to summarise my discussion into ten key words such that sometimes, I just leave them blank. Ok, I will bear that in mind though the next time round I start a new discussion. Catchy titles! Now that's a good one! I had never thought of doing that! Usually what I did was just to post a title that is factual and somewhat describes what I am going to discuss, but it had never cross my mind to put in one that would catch people's attention. Will do all that you had suggested the next time round I post another discussion. Those are really great suggestions and you had been a great help! Thanks =)

Haha I figured that out too! =D It's the same here with me, I posted 4 topics that I really wanted an answer to, as I was so confused over the matters. But, sadly, there wasn't any response for those. However, as advised by one of the old timers, just keep posting and people will soon take notice and return the favour by posting in our own discussion. I found that this is very good advice. Perhapes you can try it too! Wishing you all the best and happy Mylotting!! (P.s Had added you as a friend).

Yes it will surely get better with more practice! I'm glad to see that you have confidence in yourself You will be able to do it! Mylot is a good place to start practicing our written English isn't it? Go for it, and hopefully you will achieve what you want to achieve. Take care and happy mylotting!!
