When you post a discussion,do you go back to it and comment on the responses?I think it's good when people answer me after I respond to their discussion.when they don't it makes me wonder did they read my response?I try to comment on all responses,but sometimes I get too many,where I'm over whelmed to comment,but I love getting alot of responses like that.I just go through them the best I can.What do you do?

Hi Java, It is a courtesy for the discussion starter to come back to his or her discussion and comment every response he or she receive. But, for some, it is a compulsory for the discussion started to do so. After all, this is a discussion and in order for something to be consider as discussion is only when we have a few comment on it. If there is only a response without a comment, it is only a question and answer. When we started a new discussion, it is come with a responsibility. So, we had to bare it all. We can not just comment a few then left the others unattended. They might not come again to our future discussion.

I agree with you,I like to keep my discussion going as much as possible,it takes me awhile to respond to everyone,but eventually I do.I like for people to keep responding to my discussions,so as you say it's good to comment back.

You're right about that,but alot of people don't keep responding back to keep it going.I noticed that it does make a difference in the earnings.More people here should realize that.

Keeping our discussion alive not only allowed us to share our thought but also can be our gold mine here. Remember that we are paid for what we type here so if we keep continue commenting on the response or comment there, we would earn from it too. The only problem is to keep our posts different from our previous posts. It would be much harder if there is a few response with a similar points.

If you comment back to your responses it 'll give you more earnings.People should read the terms of use here and then they would know how to earn a good ammount for themselves.Alot of people complain they don't earn much and that's because they don't know how to.

I certainly try to get back to everyone if I can. There is one discussion from over a month back (I think) that I am still trying to reply to everyone . . . and for some reason I am not getting any faster in finishing the task . . . but I do go back to it when I have the chance. When I first started and didn't know any better, I admit I didn't get back to everyone . . . maybe one day I'll get back to those discussions as well - hoping those myLotters are still hanging in there!

I have some old discussions that I'm working on responding to.I don't think it matters how old it is.Some of them take me quite awhile to get to.It's just nice to comment on it.

i will respond them as i did until now. But when i'm out of idea, i only speak 1 or 2 sentence in order to respect their responses. It is usual to have boredom in doing this, but just imagine that you are popular and those people is surrounding you, then you will get a spirit to response their responses.

I used to comment to other's response, but usually it's for the comment that i think i need to respond, such as question back to me, give impressive comments, or just simply encouraging me to get up. But as it's get too many, sometimes it's overhelming too hehe...

Hi Java09! Sometimes comments are necessary to follow up with the unresolved discussion, for the sake of completing the response with a sense of appreciation of to the response. Sometimes I use to appened my view which were supposed to be narrated in the discussion but idea come through response of my friend. Happy mylotting.

Definitely so , that is the whole idea of these discussion sites ...I make it a point to go through each and every response and comment on them, no matter how many I get.For one thing, it is the easiest way of earning and it is the right thing to do when a member takes part in your discussion and adds his views.I feel that when you respond to another person it makes them happy , i certainly do when a member does that - all the best and happy mylotting

I always try to. However, there are times when I admit that I tend to overlook a couple of responses every now and again. I can see a couple of topics right now where there is still a few topics that have a few responses that are not commented on. Will have to try and get to that soon hopefully sometime within the next few days. It is the list of things that I will get to eventually. Still, I do try and respond to all of the topic posts that I can. After all, it is a way to let the people know that I appreciate their actions and their time picking out my topic to respond with out of all of the topics on this website. It is the least that I can do. Well technically, the least I can do is absolutely nothing but you get the picture.

Yes I go back to my discussions.I appreciate people who drop by my discussion to respond.Im doing my best to comment on the responses without me violating the myLot Discussion Guideline specially the don'ts "Thank everyone that responds or comments on your discussion.This will not increase your earnings." I only comment if I wanna add something and I just say thanks at the last part of my sentence.I dont comment on a response and say thank you only.Nice topic by the way because Ive thought of it also when I started posting comments on the first week here in mylot.Happy mylotting!
