Honestly, I'd rather just reply to discussions started by other people. Why? 1. If you start discussions, you have the 'pressure' of worrying when people don't reply or respond to your discussion. 2. When you start discussions, you have to 'monitor' or acknowledge the people who did respond because it's really rude when you ask or start a question/discussion and you don't intend to read their replies. It's like asking a question and not listening to the response of the person you're talking too. It's clearly unethical. 3. Unless your topic is so unique, it's sure to have so many 'similar' topics at hand, thus you might break a rule of mylot in terms of 'checking first if there are similar topics before posting' thus could create an offense of some sort. On the other hand, when you just reply: 1. People won't really care what you say, since most just are in this thing to earn, so whatever you say, most wouldn't really read it. 2. There are more venue to have more points since all you need to do is just blabber or just type everything you think about the topic, thus having more points or more cash values in the end. 3. Answers might be similar, but as long as you posted it, then it would count. 4. You won't need to check if somebody else replied to your reply because you're not there to interact anyways, if people won't agree, what do you care? as long as you responded (yeah quite rude, but there are a lot of those here). 5. You won't really care if there are others who reply, your goal is to respond to as many topics as possible and get the best response (if it's possible) plus of course, get a positive rating. So, you see, there are many points as to why responding is much fun, easier and more money-generating. I'm not saying I never post discussions, I do, but I enjoy answering queries for people rather than asking them questions. But if it's your cup of tea, then go for it. Good Luck!

I love it. And I especially like to respond to the answers. That's my favorite part because it's like a real conversation. (I like to talk a bit)

I do enjoy starting discussions but often am not sure what discussion to start . The idea is to get as many responses as one can and I am not always good at getting a lot of responses lol . So I tend to try to answer as many as I can to compensate for the fact that I don't get a lot of responses . There are some who can start a discussion no matter what the topic and have it be a bit hit , I am just not as good at starting discussions to make them sound good to get others to answer them :)
