Give me my Best Response back

I usually wait to give a best response until it's been at least three to four days since someone has responded to that disussion that way it gives everyone a chance to get their say in. I would just tell the person who should have gotten the best response sorry, but most people who can tell who made the best response anyway.

I've not had this happen yet... I think even if I could I would not take away the best response from the initial person, as that would feel really horrible for them. I think the best thing to do would be to respond the the new comment within the discussion thanking them for their input and letting them know that you really appreciate them taking part. OR, you could always request friend and private message them to let them know how you felt about their response.

I've had it happen quite a few times and seen it happen to others too. I've also seen an instance when the person who got the BR wrote a comment to the one who gave a better response and mentioned that it was really that person who deserved to get it......he/she also focussed on certain points that were really good in the response. I don't think many people would come back (besides the original poster) and read the rest of the responses that came AFTER they have responded....unless they have a special interest in the discussion and want to know all the responses. I don't know if I'd be able to tell anything to the person I took the BR from...except...'Your response was really good and I appreciate it....but the next one is really something and I hope you agree'. I don't think everyone might like it....or maybe I'll just let things be and not do anything about it. What's done is done.

I have had it happen to me. I want to give a best response when I have enough responses that they almost sound the same. and then I think all right, I have six to ten very good answers and then I do the eenie meenie miny mo thing and then I am left with two or three, of which I chose one as the best. Then what happens? A day or a week later, the grand daddy of all responses comes in. I do not want to wait a week or a month, unless there is only two or three responses. Because then I will have a whole lot of responses to check out and will not be able to start or answer any discussions. If I could change it, I would not tell the person I took the best response from because it would not be necessary since when she checked, she would already know.

i have had that happen a few times.. i would wait even a few weeks just to give it time to get a lot of responses and think i chose a good one or a good enough one since i want to close it out and then get a response so much better and it makes me sad since its not like i can give the new person reconigition on it either by giving then br

I'd usually wait a few weeks (sometimes a month) before I would decide on a BR. It does happen that a better response comes along after the decision; however, I don't think I would take back the BR and change it; not when it was already given out. I have already decided, and moreover, it won't be fair to the person I've already given the BR to.

it happens to me before as well... i just have to let it stay like that as i can't take it back and i won't do it as well even if i can as it will upset the person... it is too bad that the good response come after i awarded the best response... so i'm not doing the wrong thing... at that particular time, that is the best response that i can find... so i awarded it to that person... after that, i can't do anything unfortunately... that's why i always make sure that i wait long enough before i awarded best response to anybody... take care and have a nice day...

I try to wait a couple of weeks or so before I decide on a best response. Sometimes I have found a 7 out of 10 response that I really thought was the best then a few days later I have got a 10 out of 10 response. It is not possible to take a best response back. I would find it rather uncomfortable to take back a best response if this was possible. I would give a comment to the worthy responder, saying thank you to them for the excellent response.

I usually wait a week, or sometimes several weeks, before selecting a best response in a discussion. Even then, I may still get some good responses after marking it. All you can do is add a comment to the later response saying how good you think it is. I don't think there is any point in contacting the person who received the best response. If it was the best response you had at the time you awarded it, then it should stand. It would have made that person happy to get the best response, and it may hurt their feelings if you tell them you think you have had a better one.

According to me I think if we change the best respond it will hurt the people because we have give them the rate then we take it and give it to another responder. Although the respond is more good, but if we have rate it we mustn't take back. For soluttion maybe we can make the other mark best respond. So it will give the benefit to all and have a good relationship in mylot. but in mylot we can't do it.
