Am I the only one with this problem?

I have a hard time remembering as well. I do have my notifications et to tell me when someone replies to my discussions. That way in case it is an old discussion or one I have forgtten about. I will be made aware of and can go back and reply. Or at least give the commenter a plus rating for replying. I don't the tag is that important. But I have seen where people will add the wrong or vulgar sayings to tags if you do not use the five MyLot allows.

Nice to know I am not the only one who does things like that. As you say there are nio many areas which are very similar which can be a little bit annoying but mostly I only check out the discussions that appeal to me rather than under what is purportedly "my interests". The advantage of this is that somehow I do manage to cope with making responses without too many problems arising from my forgetfulness. It is often hard to decide what the tags should be actually as there could be a whoile swag of them because as you say so many of them are similar. It was a bit confusing initially and eventually I decided to let it go when I forget because there is no point worrying about something that I cannot change. Be like me, think of it as a case of "old timers" and then you will not have a worry aout it all.

You do not have to tag it to match the interest. I seldom know the interest group a discussion is in. I tag by the content. For instance, I will tag this mylot, interests, tags, responses. [/i, I tag by what I answer as well. If you posted a household cleaning question and my answer was to use vinegar, my tag would be, [i]vinegar, as well as some other things. I hope this helps you to decide bout your tags.

I check the responded tab under discussions and check where it says started by user in interest. I'd not be able to remember all the discussions I've responded too

yes that has been happening to me too. i forget and then sometimes i dont even put a tag because i cant remeber the original topic. but it still lets me post when i dont so i guess it doesn't matter.
