I guess saying thank you is very populer in response discussion in mylot. it's very good, but when that statement comes too early in discussion, it's make me stuck.when I give response and expect the discussion will go so long because I think the topic is very interisting, but they just give standard response and end up with thank you for response
it's seems that they are in hurry and don't want to continue the discussion.I don't know if other mylotter feel so or not, but saying thank you in first response is very not good for me except the discussion is only answer and question that don't require more explanation and answers...
what do you think mylotters?

Hi there,
I have seen a lot of members use thank you for the response and or thanks for the comment to the first box and or to all boxes. Usually it is a lot of veterans who do so out of sincere appreciation for our efforts in responding. I have also seen it by several new members as some are still unsure of what they are to do here and find it to be proper etiquette to do so.
I have seen only a few simply say Thank you for responding and clearly those who do not know this is not allowed and will eventually give up as quality as you and I know it is essential here on myLot. I don't use it often but at times do know some members who will not usually comeback to further the discussion so I do like to thank them after I placed my full comment to them in the beginning.

Oh yes I have experienced that a thank you sort of means they are done with the interaction. It is a mistake to do that as we all know that the further we go with discussions the more earnings. Although at times I get the sincere thanks for the response if I do have more to add I do. lol
I am one not to start very many discussions but when I do, I get loads of responses from 40 - 90 responses and several of the boxes can have several back and forths. I love that and have learn a lot about so many members this way. myLot is about participation and if there is a lot of exchanges the earning flow really nicely. I earn here each and every month and well over the minimum too.

I rarely say thank you too to mylot discussion, but when I say thank you, it's a real thank you and more than a formality
saying thank you is good habit actually in my view, but sometimes some people don't wise to use that regards words.based on my experience... I just wondering why after some people saying thank you then discussion is stuck, I reply and ask some question -well question is one of the reason to keep discussion going and going, but they're seems like to ignore it
do you ever experience this too, dear?

in generally, I will mention have a nice day in the end of discussion.but definitely it's a good habit to put some regards words on that.not everyone can do it, some do it only to end discussion.do you think so?

I have to agree with you. After answering, I expect the user to respond to it with more discussion. Of course, in most cases, they do. But as soon as they add, "thank you for your response" I feel as if they just did not want me to take part in the discussion. I should not take it as rude. But psychologically, this is how I feel. I tend to interpret the line as, "Your opinion was not expected, but thank you for it, now bye".

Hi redvakaurvaki,
Ouch, the "thanks" works like a slap in my face
. Well, in some cases, when they reply and then add the thanks I continue the discussion. But there have been times when I received, "I agree with you. Thanks, have a nice day". It made me feel somewhat sad. I wanted to reply more, but well I guess the user was not interested in reading it.

hi, divineathena, we have the same feeling I guess.saying thank you in giving response is not always bad, but that's it, sometime it's seem like last statement to say "see you in other discussion"
but, do you have try if someone give that kind of "thank you", and we guess they think discussion is over, then you try to give response again, do they reply?or may be our prediction is right?

I find that have a nice day sometime mylotter use to end discussion too, dear.especially the sentence you've mentioned, you can see that they don't want continue, so we just wasting time to continue discussion with someone who only case number of discussion and do not want real discussion.sometimes you can just ignore that kind of response, dear or telling them that discussion not end yet.but if it's not work, just leave and response other

for me saying thanks is needed, but some people here seems like using saying thanks to end discussion
I also say thanks if the discussion is starting with worthy information or give me some benefits, but I will try to insert some simple question just to make discussion longer and active.
you also can still continue discussion even they agree with your statement, just put simple question. when they agree, they may have same idea to share, and discussion still can be interisting

similar reason with you gavrilovich, mostly I'd say thank you when I'm looking was given.and I catch that's the aim of statement of thank you use.that's why when people say it for the first response, especially in the end of sentence, it means that they got the point and don't need more view or discussion anymore... while in other side I don't think that should be end

I admit that I usually say 'thank you' when I respond to a comment for the first time,but that doesn't mean that the conversation is over for me.If the mylotter who added the comment wishes to add something else it's fine by me,I will comment again,so for me 'thank you for your response' is the way to show my appreciation towards those who answer my discussion,it certainly doesn't imply that they can't add anything else.Anyway,in many cases discussions don't continue because sometimes you don't need too many replies to express the most important ideas in a topic,so I'd rather say 'thank you' at my first comment to make sure that the other mylotter will see that I expressed my gratitude for his or her participation in the discussion I started.

hi, polaris, thank you is good statement and preface to response back discussion. I do very appreciate it and will be more glad if discussion can be longer and more active after that..
that's true that not every discussion have many idea to discuss, sometime it's just can be discuss in short conversation
so are you always insert thank you in response someone who response discussion?but what if that statement seems like well, that's all... see you in next discussion?

The truth is I haven't started too many discussions,and I didn't use 'thank you' always,I did it most of the time.If the discussion is interesting and the protagonists come with new and challenging points of view,it could go on until we both get bored of it,I have no problem with that!

I don't really know if people are just thanking the responders for formality or because they are bored or cannot think of anything to write, but to be honest, I feel really good when they jot down the "thanks you for the response" line. It makes me feel really good, seriously.
And I also add the little line to almost every response I get coz I am indeed very thankful that they spent time in my discussion and took time responding

Yes but you know at times the responders have said everything and we just have nothing more to add, maybe that's the case. When that happens to me I just say "thank you" too

that's look fair to say "thank you" too
sometimes I just put smiley when they end discussion with thank you, I hope that's enough to say I'm interest on that discussion

Hi redvakaurvaki,
'Thank you' is a golden word. Its like 'Sorry', a golden word also. It is a form of courtesy, of respect for another. Its hardly used nowadays for some reason that others seem to forget to use it. Here at my lot, people who start or respond to discussions are intelligent people; they have lots of ideas to share to others. That's great. As a newbie, I feel that saying 'thank you' to somebody who responded to my discussion is my way of respecting that other person; that person who cared enough to spend 3 minutes of his time to share his thoughts and opinion.
We may add further to a response in the discussion. But if the response is an end statement, there is no other way but to comment back 'thanks' or 'thank you'. Still, respect and courtesy is present.

hi, anthony5, welcome to mylot
saying thank you is not enough statement to say what do you talking about and what's your view to be discuss in a topic.give your response as descriptive as possible, can you see that statement from mylot ( below your avatar ) when you response discussion?I will very appreciate your thank you, but you should use it as wise as possible.... thank you is not common word, don't take it as your no more reason...
