Do you think this will be a good discussion?

As far as I am concerned, I think we are so busy day by day,which need us to save a lot of time to do other things. If the topic you just post shoter, I think people can be easy to know the exact meaning of you, then they will response to it soon.

hey basqui! I think it really depends on the topic that you are doing. I don't expect to get lots of responses on my discussions. I'm pretty much glad that someone took the time of reading my post, they liked it and they replied to my discussion.

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that many Lotters think that reading doesn't pay. They don't read long topics and they don't read responses before posting their own. Then often they have written almost the same thing as another user in a previous response and theirs does not seem original. Many think that they can earn more by responding to lots of short and simple topics but they don't realise that many of them are repeated and will be deleted later, causing them to earn nothing. SOme, but only a few, of the one line topics have something to discuss but I much prefer a topic whether there is more to read and the original poster gives their own opinion too.

Maybe because some people find it anoying having to read half a novel before they can start thinking about a good answer for the discussion?

Because all of us are very busy responding to a lot of discussion. The shorter, the better for me. Then i can get to everybody. TATA.

Hi,there.I don't think the lines matter so much.What most important is the topic about .But for me ,I'd like to read some posts which are about 2-6 lines.If it's too long ,I just feel like it's difficult for me to understand and sometimes I even can't hung in there and read it to the end.

I'm wondering, if your post will be deleted!! lol =D But i'm surprised to see it still standing after 2 days.. hehe ^_^ NO matter what, i will still be here answering to your question.. haha =D It does not matter if the topic has got just one line or one paragraph.. WHat's important is the title of the post.. It has got to be eye-catching and makes ple curious about what's in there ^_^ And from there, it depends on each individual if they wanna respond to it ^_^

hi basqui I often wondered that but a lotof mylotters will respond to anyone line discussion no matter how stupid as they are to lazy to read more than a line thus bypass a lot of higher quality discussions which really irks me, for one thing the short short discussion often does not get paid, mylot wants quality not fifteen one line discussions done in a half hour about nothing really, not giving you anything to respond to unless you love telling your favorite flavor of ice cream or your favorite color, and your favorite pizza topping, which a lot of us do not really like,quality not quantity. I have had many discussions with a lot of responses and I did not rely on one short silly sentence. You draw more attention if you have an interesting discussion, something that means something to most people.and mine are one paragraph so its not always the short inane discussion that gets the votes. you have to give people something to respond to.

i REALLY PREFER MORE THAN ONE LINE BUT WHATEVER. ALOT OF PEOPLE just throw anything out there thinking they are going to make more money & when i think that's what they are doing i don't bother responding. There is alot of silliness in alot of the discussions.

with me i get on here in the morning and i often dont feel like ready something long and draw out.

Hi basqui, Usually I try to avoid one line discussion because it is not a discussion for me. To started a discussion, the started must give a clear picture of the situation and if possible his/her stand in that situation. Most of the one line discussion is actually more to question and answer type. But I would response to one line discussion when I desperately need a discussion to response to especially at the end of the month. I think you know what I mean. But do really one line discussion receive more response? I do not think so. They definitely would not get the response from the senior (base on their activities) here.

It is not all true. I think it is really depends on the discussion. I find it difficult to respond to a one liner or short discussion especially if the topic is not really clear to me. I'd rather spend a little more time reading a longer discussion,in this way, i know how to respond aptly.:-) However, there are discussions started by mylotters who can express themselves in few words, thus, comprehensible.I will feel lucky if I will stumble upon such type of discussion. Yours definitely is short but comprehensible. Don't wonder why if this will gain responses more than you have expected.:-)

If it's one liners then most people that responds to it are not reading the guidelines. You better check Mr Lamb's discussions they are quite long but they get to be responded by more people. If you make good discussions no matter how long and short it would be people would flock to read and respond to it.

yes.,it's easy to response a discussion when the details is short and direct than to read a paragraph before you can response it's a waste of time...

I really do not know if long dicussions get good responses or the shorter ones coz I do not get much. I really feel that the shorter ones do not convey much. There are some one liner discussions which are really quite short to really understand. So usually I keep my fingers crossed after posting a discussion hoping that atleast I get some responses as I have discussions which have not received responses at all.
