Hello valuable myLotters!! I am wondering how often people respond at first to some discussion. Frankly speaking in past I used to respond after many responses but now I love to respond at first even whenever I get chance and I like the discussion. Sometimes I think I will respond first and while I am writing some other myLotter clinches the first position and posts before me...but its OK...our aim is to respond better and to make this website wonderful...Happy myLotting!!! So I would like to know how often you love to respond at first?

I never think about it, unless it looks like a discussion with subect matter that could turn ugly, then I take a wait and see approach. But more than half the time there will be no responses to a discussion when I start making mine, but by the time I am done and hit submit, there are 2 or 3 posts ahead of mine already.

I tend to respond first if I like the topic. Response order is not something I ever considered until I read this discussion. For me, what I respond to depends on what I feel like talking about on a particular day. That variable depending on my mood.

i doesn't matter to me if i am the first or the last one to answer in a discussion as long as i know and i like the topic being discussed i will be willing to answer it. in answering discussion what is important is if you know that you can contribute something or share your ideas to the discussions.

Hey deep, I have not even noticed at which number I am responding some discussion. I just read the content of the discussion and then just post my words, I do admit that I like to be the first to respond but it doesn't make any difference weather I am the first or not.

It's good to post the first response to a discussion but it doesn't matter for me if i respond the first or the last, the most important for me is to write a good quality content to satisfy the user who post the discussion ^^.

Hello friend!! Yes you are right...really matters is quality of our response instead of looking that we are posting at first or not. I don't think that site pays for responding at first more and less for last...i think so... but i am sure they pay for the quality of response we make which makes this site amazing and wonderful which everyone likes and happy being a part of such a nice portal where we can discuss what we want and can share our opinions.

Well, I enjoy responding first to discussions, but I think that the most important thing is how good the content of the response is. We're all here to help others, not to race. Happy myLotting!

hi chdsandeep oh I would love to be first but f ourth, sixth or eighth'I still enjoy responding and learning new things, and making friends and just enjoying being here on mylot. I can always find something to respond to and at times I make a discussion too, but am trying not to make so many that I cannot keep up on commenting back. the commenting back is some of the most fun in discussions and often adds a touch of humor to our discussions too. for me as a retiree with more , lots more time, than money its a way to spent time profitably both in learning new things, and in earning a bit of money for the internet bill.

I am one of th mylotters who rush to respond first to a discussion. I always search for interesting disucssions and check out 'New' tab a lot. I like to make each mylotter happy by giving the first response soon after the discussion is started. I experienced that it is a special happiness when you see that you got a response soon after creating the discussion.

Actually I had this habit of answering questions on te "Today's Top" first and then before logging off of MyLot, I have to visit discussions on "No Responses" first, I really feel the need to go there because as much as possible, I want all questions in Mylot to be answered. I know sometimes questions from there are merely similar with questions which have been previously asked but I still answer them because I feel that they still deserve some attention. Maybe the author needs to know the house rules because he or she is new or maybe the question has to be answered immedistely so even if I know that the discussion might get deleted in the future, I still try to answer it to merely elp the author. also because I dont want my discussions to be left unanswered too. There are also a lot of the discussions there which ave gramatical errors or from new users so as much as possible I want to help them, encourage them to learn English too (I am improving my English too thhat's why I am here in mylot often) and to welcome and encourage them to be active here in MyLot. :D

There is not any issue to write first response to any posted discussion for me. But the contents whatever writing for particular discussion should be exactly what the people want. it should be short or more understandable. its like one line can say whole things.

I am new on MyLot but I like to respond first to some discussion that I like. I think it is good to help for a topic to start. And I want to rise the reputation and the famousity of this page, so I would like to write and read good conversations. So when I invite my friends, I could say: look this is an amazing site, come around and myloot with me:)

i dont worry about the number at which i am responding . if i just like the discussion i will respond to it . i have responded first on many occassions . why should we worried about whether our response is first or last . if we like the discussion then we should tell about our choices or opinion . thats my point here . happy mylotting . .
