How much average time do you spend in responding to a post?

I know my friend deepak you are not telling true because 10 to 12 minutes are more time and your speed is fast so you not take more time for respond. But in my view this is depend upon topic if contents is clear and understand then response with 5 to 7 minutes. Reading, understanding and typing with in 5 to 7 minutes. But still not observed now I will check this today. Nice discussion.

I think it depends in every post. But it won't take me 9 minutes to comment on a post. I don't do the tagging always because sometimes I don't know what to put on the tags. :D But I always see to it that every post counts, I mean that every post is helpful and has significance to the discussion. because some mylotters are just posting and posting without even reading the caption below the title, I don't want to be those kind of people. And honestly, I don't really double check the spelling. Hihi. If I saw that there's a red line, I immediately change it in the correct spelling. Like this post, it took me 5 to 6 minutes to submit it. lol :D

I suppose it depends on the discussion and what I have to add. I have had discussions that have taken me quite some time to respond to because of the content. I do need to use the preview option a little more than what I do though. There have been a ton of times that I have submitted with a misspelling, caught it as it was posting, tried to stop it, failed miserably. Average..yes..5-10 minutes for me...that is without that extra time it takes to preview appropriately and fix errors.

Hi dpk! Hmmm, good question! I don't actually time myself - because then I know I would lose time! Basically when I respond, my thoughts flow into my fingers . . . I type as I think . . . and in most cases I can type pretty fast. Some responses can take just a few seconds (especially those one liners, if I'm trying to be funny, for discussions from certain myLot friends). Sometimes I can't "think" - especially for responses that need to be in length on my end - so I open up another window to continue on myLot til my brain can focus on that particular discussion again - so then it would take much longer. I don't have a lot of time to be here period, so I get in what I can . . . in most cases, I can only be here 5 minutes here and there . . . or maybe an hour in total if my son naps . . . or maybe 15 minutes if the kids occupy themselves . . . or maybe a couple minutes if I'm cooking and waiting . . . it really depends. I can only give the various time totals of my mylot time per chance that I can be on the computer - the individual time depends on what my brains says - ha ha. I know dpk discussions mean my brain will be picked (ha ha) as they are always thought provoking . . . so I will do what I can to ensure he gets a "proper" response . . . however long it takes (that's what I think is appropriate - regardless of "time").

I think 5 to 10 minutes are sufficient to respond on any discussions lengthy or short. I not spend my 12 minutes for response if not understand then leave it without response but not spend more time on single discussion. Mostly I copy the title and paste it in the tag box. Some time use my own keywords.

wow congrats on the number of responses. i enjoyed reading them all. Wow I happy to say that I take at least 2 minutes sometimes to respond. It actually depends on how long the discussion is. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead.

I don't count anything on here including the number of words, lines, sentences or the time it takes to respond. I wouldn't do it when holding a conversation offline so I see no point in doing it here either. If a topic gets my attention I say my piece and however long it takes to say it is of no importance. I am not being paid by the hour here

It depends a lot on how much time I have at times, or how much interest in discussion I get. At times, I would even spent 8 minutes to respond to a discussion. Yet, my average is 4 to 5 minutes.

Hello. It really depends on what the subject is. If it is something I am passionate about I try to craft a good piece that will be well received and easily read. It usually takes me about five to ten minutes for a good response, longer for me to set up a discussion. I have to remember to proof read and re-write if needed. I think the longer we spend on either the better the outcome.

hello dpk, 10 seconds

Depends on who and what the discussion is about... I normally take the longest of my time when responding to Vandana and the shortest time to my dearest.... Ah, cannot name this one!!! But normally... it is hardly a difficult decision to make as I dont go beyond responding to 8-10 discussions a day - so I can afford some more time!!!

On an average it takes about five to seven minutes for me to respond to the discussion. I am so fast at my typing and this is the one of the reason why it takes less time for to respond for a discussions.

hmm i don,t know if i don,t busy and after i read new post in there if there is some articles i don,t get it maybe i don,t comment it. but if there is comment that make me interest maybe i spent 5-8 minute to write.

This sounds about right, 8-12 minutes is my average too, what with all the processes you mentioned, so I think this is the norm. Except, I usually skip the tags part when I'm responding or commenting at the same discussion post for a while. It will take longer if I already typed my response,review, than re-typed a whole new one. But I'd say, 8 minutes is my average.

Hi deepak, I am timing myself for this discussion and post.I feel that once you read the discussion and are ready to post you have already made up your mind as to what you want to express so it takes hardly a minute or two, at the most 3 minutes for me to respond to a post unless I am planning to give a very lengthy response..

It is not possible to time for respond. It depends upon the topic. I like to read topic before writing respond. Some time matter is too much lengthy so it took some more time.

Depends on your style and on the subject-in-discussion. With me in my style, there's 1) Deciding to respond and then 2) Responding. The first step usually happens as soon as I read the subject-line. Then I 'glance over the details' (which is why I suggest that people write in short (about 3-line) paragraphs, because 'glancing' eyes read that writing-method better) and launch into my response. The Response-step takes the most time. I went to writing-school long enough that I pretty-much edit-as-I-write (instead of 'first draft, revision, second draft, etc.') Sometimes I have to go back over it to make sure it says what I think I mean it to say, but it usually does, so ... For the 'tags,' I usually just put down what I think the whole response is about in one or two words.

After reading your post, I find that your are a pretty responsible. For me, I do not proofread my post. I admire that! It usually takes me 5 minute to answer a question. But for silly questions like "what is the most popular language in the world" it take just take few seconds. For some complex question, it may take 10 minutes. All in all, it normally take me 5 minutes to answer a question. That vary according to different occasions.

I don't keep track of things like that. I think it's a bit silly to keep track how long it takes me to write a response. I do read it and think just write what I think in my head but I never go back and correct it at all.

I don't keep track how much time I spent responding to a topic that interests me. The longer time it takes for me is to choose which topic is interesting enough for me to participate in.
