Do you still respond to topics similar to what you have responded before?

I find because there are so many trying to start discussions that you are bound to come across the same type of discussions all the time and if I respond to one will resopnd to another as well . I didn't realize it was in the guidelines not to do this , but how can we keep track of all the discussions we have responded to ? I would find it really hard to keep track of everything I have respoded to on here for the last year let alone them being similar . I will probably continue to respond though just for the fact that I will respond to any discussion I feel I can give an answer for , if I have nothing to say then I just pass it by and look for one that I understand what they are looking for .

Well i would respond to similar types of discussions. But not sure whether the response will be same.lol

I do respond to similar topics, because it is often easier to respond since I was just thinking about that particular topic or subject.

I do indeed respond to similar topics. Most of them aren't exactly the same and you can add new things to each discussion. If it is exactly the same then it has the chance of getting deleted and that then is something that is a waste of time...

If it is within a day or two, I often can't be bothered to reply again to the same or similar topic. If it has been weeks or months since I replied to a similar discussion I will add a new response, which will be slightly different from what I said before. Sometimes the same subject can be posted in a different way and requires a different response, but it does get too repetitive to keep writing the same things over and over again. I think it is okay to respond to the same topic if your response is not exactly the same, the guidelines say not to post the same topics but, of course, most new users don't check to see if it has been posted before and they don't know it has been asked a hundred times already. Anyway they have not seen the answers before, so it is still new to them, and different people will respond each time the question is asked.
