Long descriptive response wins the BEST RESPONSE mostly...do you agree with me?

In my opinion best response correspond to the content of the answer we are talking from the question or discussion that made. If the answer is too descriptive for me I marked it with best response. Sometimes other are long in phrases but the thought and life of the discussion are nonsense, how it can give the ideas to the readers. My concern is to help the readers to get some ideas and help them in their problem by means of our write ups. Even I will search also for the solutions of my problems here. And by the help of our community here I gained a lot.

I think it is dependent to the one who would be giving the best response if the post given to his or her discussion gets the best response or not. I mean, they are the one's who would decide if they would grant it recognition or not at all. There was this one time that I participated on this particular discussion and I gave a full elaboration on it due to having ample interest on the matter being discussed yet, the one who posted after me just gave the gist of what I was talking about and he/she got awarded the best response. Not that I was disappointed since, it always depends on the person who initiated the discussion on how he or she would grant recognition to a post by awarding it with the best response. After all, a best response to the one who started the discussion wouldn't necessarily mean that others who might read the discussion or those who'd actually participate in the discourse would agree that the one who got the best response deserved it. If I do get the best response on any discussions that I participate in, I''' be glad about it. If I don't, that's okay, I wasn't aiming to get one in the first place everytime I post a response to a discussion that catches my interest every now and then (^_^ )

Best response is a response that makes the topic poster happy. Doesn't have to have facts, or even help them at all. Just has to make them happy. I have 11 best responses that are all really short, and simple. Some are just nonsense.

the length of the response doesn't matter to me, as long as it is direct to the point because not all long responses have sense and not all short responses don't have sense.^.^v

the more, the better ,this word is always turned out to be truth

If the topic is about what a person's opinion is and what they would do in the same situation... then the response would perhaps be expected to be longer... same if the topic is regarding cooking, repair, or anything that requires steps or detailed instructions. Saying: Boil the water and drop pasta in, remove from water top with sauce... Yes that gives you the general idea... but not much... when does the person salt it... what kind of pasta... so in that situation a long answer would be just right. But if you ask what sort of computer or camera (or anything similar) a 2 paragraph response would be stretching it a lot and not a little bit lol... That is how i pick best response, if it makes sense and answers what i need or want to know ;)

One line answers don't usually win a best response from me, but it isn't necessarily a person who posts a long response. And it depends what you think of as long: 5 lines, 10 lines? A full paragraph? I don't like it when it is obvious someone is trying to draw out their response to make it long. Neither do I appreciate when people make their lines like this: I went to the park and had a good time, although a dog bit me. I guess people think that counts as a line and do it for more money, but I'm pretty sure mylot isn't fooled. I'd say the best responses I usually mark are somewhere in the middle of long and short. Although it the answer is good, it doesn't matter how long they make it. : )

No I give a best response to every discussion and it is not the longest answer but usually the one I like the best. Sometimes it is the one that gives the best answer. I never judge a response by length. I tend to be a person that writes long comments but that is simply my nature. I do sometimes wonder why someone got a best response when it is not the response I would give it to but it is not my discussion. Sometimes I have trouble choosing a response because I have a few that are really good and then it is a tough choice and it takes me a while to work it out. I never give them quickly. I wait at least 5 days or long before giving one. I think that some people will not post to a discussion if the bp has already been given.

I think those who really exerted effort to make their responses as descriptive as possible deserve receiving Best Response awards. Short responses are okay but at least ti should have sense. But I still favor a more descriptive response not necessarily long. Because there are long ones but still lacking in sense.
