Do you respond with the hope of getting a BR ?

Many of us get elided when received a BR. But the question is do you really crave for a BR? Or whenever you post a response you expect a BR there? Please be frank and share your approach towards this issue. I have a lot of them and never respond with the hope that some one or the other would select me response as the Best.

Let me put it this way: I respond however I feel like. I don't sit there and think "let me ponder this and word it perfectly so I have a chance at the BR". But when I do get one, I am pleased.

hi dawnald and you have such a wonderful way of saying a lot without using a lot of words. I am the same way in regards to br's if I get one ,lovely, and if I dont, so what, I never expect them and thats makes it a lovely surprise.

If there is one person who are used to those ''squeezed responses,'' it is me. I think i would faint if i ever see a long response from my Dawny.

In my case,i respond in my best knowledge and ability in issues or topic that i have knowledge and experience in it,here in Mylot members have different levels of knowledge,wit and experiences, with that i think answers and response varies..best response or not it's ok..at least as a member of this site,you are participating with the discussions and abiding with the rules..thanks!

No, I respond with a reply as truthful and clear as I can. I am happy when I do get a BR, but I don't respond thinking about getting one.

Br should be chosen when a certain discussion reaches a week old. Sometimes, this becomes a great motivator to all of us to response with our best, so far, I received couple of BRs, and I was so happy for it. There is a speculation that receiving a BR would increase our earnings, but that is not true according to MysD, my Tita, as I believed in here. I guess BR is a pure motivation factor for us all lotters to sincerely share our views on a certain discuission. thank you friend, hope this helps.... happy mylotting!

Honestly, I don't really mind if I get a BR or not. If I really did get a BR, well it will be good in my part because it would somehow motivate me to answer frequently and qualitatively in the discussions. If not then it's okay, at least I shared my opinions and add the number of discussions answered at the same time. But getting a BR really is a compliment, so I will also try my best to get a few from the discussions I answer. Haha. Good day :)

ME? Never sweetie. My friends i would irritate and the other mylotters i like to give the best advice i can, but best responses are never on my mind. I have other things that normally occupy my mind. TATA.

I have logged onto mylot today after a very long time. Mostly, I respond to a discussion hoping that it will help the querier and other readers in some way or the other. Sometimes, I respond to discussions just so that I can change the way my state of mind is at that point of time. I have never hankered for a best response or for the money on mylot.

I respond because I want to be heard usually. I have something to say and if I get a BR it is a very pleasant surprise. Haven't been getting any lately. (hint) (hint)

Hello my friend krajibg Ji, Seeing after very very long time. Well, truely speaking I am here only to sare your company. BR and even my posting hardly matters. i wa svery much irregular on many counts. Since three days, after I got my IE-8 version loaded it is workinttle faster, else was very slow. Let's know the world sitting at one place, amounts to cashless and costless. May God bless You and have a great time.

hiya krajibg nope, i don't respond in the hopes of getting a BR.. i just respond because i'd like to respond. and if i really know of the subject matter that is being discussed, i would really really respond with whatever i know.. a BR is never my intention...but it is nice to get it once in a while

For me, BR is just an incentive on what I have done here in mylot 'cos I believe that you should always give your best shot in everything you do. Don't expect more to avoid disappointment at the end.

ho abel, A BR is mere a gesture that speaks on one's character of response. I have got several post where people have responded to the best of their ability. Such situation creates troubles in sleeting one.

It makes me happy but its not really the first thing that comes to mind when responding to a discussion. Appreciation is always good and the fact that you were able to help someone even in small ways is good enough.

Honestly, I just post my opinions and ideas about the topic being discussed. I really don't aim to get the best response at all in discussions that I participate in. I don't mind getting the best response as well as don't really feel anything when I see someone else getting the best response after reading other posts that would seem to be more worthy of such recognition. Being awarded the best response is always subjective to the person who started the discussion. The one who initiated the topic also has the right to choose which post seems right to be awarded with it. At any rate, I do get best responses sometimes from my posts and I do feel encouraged to be more active. Not getting it doesn't make me feel disappointed at all.

BR don't come to my mind whenever I respond to discussions. That's why it's always a surprise everytime I receive a BR, though I appreciate receiving such.

A very good day to you Krajibg, Honestly speaking, I am very happy if the response that I posted was chosen as the Best Response. However, to tell the truth, this is not what I am after. I am not after on the Best Response Award. The thing that really matters to me is to share and give my best idea. Hence, this could somehow help to answer the query or the topic being raised for discussion. Thank you.

No, too much bother for me. I have to select my words carefully and write longer comments than I want to, and be diplomatic about my responses. No, no, no... sounds tiring.

I don't really think about it. I just write my opinion honestly. I have never gotten a best response yet but I hope to someday... If I don't it's okay though.
