Well it can also happen that she/he must have had added lots of friends and that they are unable to respond to each one of them.This can be one of the reason and another is maybe they do not find the discussion so interesting so they move on with another.My friend,we should not be expecting each and every one of our friends to respond or give comments.We should better just enjoy and make new friends and who knows you may also find a real good friend here.I have some few good friends and I keep in touch with them.I am not interested in starting just discussions but I would love to give response too,only thing is sometimes I don't get enough time to go through each and every discussions started by my friends but I try to do my best and not to offend anybody.

Yea! It's not quite possible at all and it may be that she finds nothing to add to your discussions (which in no way means there is anything wrong with your discussions).

Hi. I have never felt like not responding to any of my friends or for that matter to any one here on "Mylot" only because they are not responding to my discussions. If there is a discusion here and I feel like saying anything on it I respond to that discusions. Isn't that simple!

Hello ajesh. Yes I respond to Some friends that never respond to my discussions. But If I have something to say I respond to them anyway. I don't start a lot of discussions. I have some friends that have never responded to my discussions but that's ok. I have one friends that never comments back on her discussions but that's ok to because I still get paid for responding to her.

If I find their topics consistently interesting; yes! It is certainly nice to have friends return the favour but if the topic I place on here doesn't interest them hen I do understand if they ignore it! I do always check my friend's discussions before nay others when I come online and if I see something of interest; I will respond. I assume most of them do the same! I am fortunate though to have a number of friends on here that do make the effort to respond to my discussions; and I to theirs so this is good also!

Of course I can't answer all the discussions that come my way...but if something strikes me...I will give the best response that I possibly can. A lot of the discussions are too touchy of a subject for me, and I don't want a bicker going on. Others I have no knowledge or opinion on, so I don't respond to those either. I do come to myLot and read many, many discussions. And all of those I rate. I guess every member probably maneuvers about differently.

I don't think we should be so particular. I would continue answering unless I know for sure that that person whom I am responding to is deliberately avoiding my discussions - now that would be a different matter. You see, someone may have e.g. 1000 friends on her list. You may be always responding to her but can she possibly churn out 1000 responses a day on average? If he can do 100, it is already a miracle. So we just hope that every now and then, it would be great if friends drop by. Yes, I do understand that we may feel discouraged when we don't get responses to our discussions but I don't like to force obligations on friendship. Cheers!

I rarely post my own discussions not until it is valuable, educational and factual. I often posted discussions by responding others discussions. If it happened that some of the mylotters failed to respond the discussions they have posted or even failed to comment the discussions they have responded, probably, everybody has to be considerate with this matter not because you were not being heard but because other mylot members don't have enough time to stay long in the site just to respond all the discussions of the day, like myself, and for some other reasons also only known to the respondents alone. Besides, there are discussions of no quality that does not deserve response, if not, it is a discussion which is prejudicial to other mylot members.

I may have already answered this - but too many pages to go through to find out. Anyway, I answer whatever discussion attracts my attention. I don't really care whose it is or if they've ever responded to mine. I go with the topic - that's the primary point for me. Their responses to be are simply a bonus.

I actually don't keep track of who's responding to my discussions or not. I just respond basing on my interest on the topic, and not based on who made the discussion.

Hi, Ajesh, I respond to topics on what I have something to say. And sometimes I feel a bit lost because of too many things are discussed. Some of them force me to think hard because the subject may be quite complicated so I cannot respond at once...

I do not follow a very strict rule in this regard. I go for responding a post, if it appeals me, irrespective of the fact, who started it. I always try to share my candied view on the posts. If any of my friends here does not respond to my post, I do not take it very seriously, thinking that he/she might be busy or the discussion was not of his/her interest. However, it always feel good to respond to those friends' discussion, who contribute in your discussions without fail, irrespective of the subject being discussed.

I really don't keep track if the one who I am responding to has actually participated in one of my discussions. If I get interested in a discussion, I'd just participate and I wouldn't try and look if the one who started that particular discussion is among my friends,I get notified about their discussions anyway on email, or had they already participated in some of my discussions. I try not to look at it as something unfair. Friends can still be friends even if they don't have similar interests.

Hi ajesh_pullad! i used to respond to all discussions in my friends' list even if they do not respond to me everytime. But lately, if they don't respond to me at all, not even once..I will stop responding to them. I think I deserve at least a thank you for the effort and the support I have been giving to them all these time somehow. I am not asking that they have to respond to me all the time, at least somehow they will do it once in awhile. Take care always..God Bless!

Hi, i try to respond to all discussions i can. But i make it a point to respond to my friends' discussions first.Then, i respond to other discussions of my interests. But there are times that i just don't have any ideas to share so i just read on. I have just a few discussions myself, i find it more fun responding. But i will start some of my own.
