Hello Mylotters, I used to comment on the responses that i get for my discussion.Its a good habit to make our discussion alive and get more responses.I believe the commenting will tend ,to respond to the discussion, those who are just visiting our discussion.Do you respond to discussions having lots of responses but no comments from the discussion starter?

Yes, I do visit and comment on a few, that the original poster has not even commented on. In fact I still reply to some discussion's that are even 3 year's old. I figure if it look's interesting why not reply. Some time's you even get a comment from another member and not even the original poster.

Hi abhaijith. I always response any discussion although the starter not response to us, but I like if the starter response. I think will be better if the starter also comment to our response, I think that can make us like it.

The intention of being in mylot is to think or make someone think on issues arround us. Some times we can get good remedies to our problems in our life I mean one should discuss the day today thoughts come to us with others all over the globe. Who knows who has a right answer to our question? A serious involvment is discussions is importent, so automatically one will wait for the responses he gets and can further elaborate his thout to come to a best outcome I think.

I comment on some responses when I start a discusion. I don´t put those "thanks for sharing" that don´t mean anything. I comment when I feel I have something to say or to add. Sometimes I just don´t know what to comment. So I don´t. I begin few discusions. It´s easier for me to read something I´m interested in and say what I think. I do not care if a discusion has lots of responses or few. It´s my thoughts about a subject. Period. Happy posting

Sharing what we have to say on the topic is good. If we can know what others have to say on our response ,that will be more good.And make us to share more about the topic.

Hi, I really have no such preferences.I always respond to those discussions on which feel I have something to say and express my views on.Basically a topic that interests me is one to which I will respond.Whether the person who has started it will come back and comment or not,does not really concern me too much.Of course I agree with what you have said.Comments definitely enliven the discussion and sustain the interest of respondents.I always make it a point to comment back on the responses that come in for any discussion that I may have started,but when it is a matter of responding myself,I do not pick and choose.I just read the ones which I find interesting and pertaining to myself,and respond accordingly. Take care.

I will respond to those discussion if I know something about that irrespective of the comment to the previous discussions if any. But my response will not be much detailed . I don't know the exact reason for that.May I think as why should we respond to the discussions started by the member who is not caring about the respondents .They can just say at least 'thanks' in few words. Because of this fact, I used to leave a comment to all of the responses that I am receiving to my discussions.It also increase our earnings in addition to gaining of goodwill from the other members.

I will respond regardless whether the discussion starter has posted comments or not. I dont' get paid for the starters cmments, but I do get paid for my responses, so why not go for it? I don't start all that many discussions, but when I do start them, I will post commetns to the rssponses that I have received. By commenting, it lest the responders know that I took time to read their responses and so that I could psot an inteelligent comment. I don't just say thanks for your responses either, as I wouldn't get paid for those. There are others that do it, without realizing that they won't get paid for this kinds of comments. Good luck to you and happy mylotting.
