Me too...definately the topic. If I'm interested I respond no matter how many responses it has...although I do feel like the more responses there are, the less chance I have to be read.

Hi! I usually choose the topics I like with lesser number of discussions first, perhaps because of this inner desire to have my response read by the discussant. There are discussions that I would really love hearing a response/comment from the person who started the discussion. I also would like to help those whose discussions have no responses yet, like those of the newbies. When there are no other choices for topics and I really liked the one with so many responses already, I will then respond to that discussion nevertheless. Happy myLotting!

I am not influenced by the number of responses at all and will respond to any topic that catches my attention really. My own perspective is always my own so hopefully I will always have something unique to add! lol. I do have to admit though that when there are many, many other replies, I rarely read through all of them before responding myself. I am sure that I am not alone in doing this!

I respond to discussions basing on the topic I can relate with and not so much oln the number of responses a discussion has. Nevertheless, I respond likely to newbies' and friends' topics because I love to help them.

I respond usually based on the topic. If only I have something to say I will post some respond from my thought and experienced. It doesn't matter if it has a lot number of respond or the topic starter had chosen the best respond I'll still post my respond.

Hello,Vinod! It is my usual practice to respond to discussions on certain topics and not on the basis of response it received.If any topic impressed me I offer my viewpoint on it.thanx.
