I am more comfortable with 10 to 12 responses and commenting back and forth. That many .. and to think @TheHorse and others do it day in and day out, and on multiple posts. Do you find it easy to respond to so many people? I don't like replying mechanically. So I take a break return so that I am really replying the myLotter whose comment I am reading. Otherwise, chances of it being continuation of the previous comment increases. What is your strategy? And I don't know if I am violating any terms and conditions. Sorry.

I never reply mechanically and if you read my responses and comment you surely know. Well I have replied to over 100 comments on my posts and it has never been a problem.

At times it happens. As soon as I find my replies to be a tad alike the one above or below, I step out of the post.

@vandana7 I take time to read the posts and I take time to reply if I judge that there is something to comment. It happened in the past that I missed some notifications and I really felt bad when I realized that I did not reply to some users.

That's great. It is fine. Just take it easy. Whenever I get a notification, I read the responses and comments and go to the responders or commenters posts and interact. I do that first before I go to the new posts. For me, the notifications and those who enteract with my post have my priorities.

I like checking others posts, yes. But it becomes a tad difficult with so many responders.

@vandana7 Just think positive. The more responders, the more you earn.

@thelme55 Earning here? Like I am gonna get a Lamborghini. LOL I am here for friendship, to know more people, and about their world and culture. And to get solutions to problems we have and at times to vent. Venting is therapeutic.

I take time to reply to comments as well. But I have not responded to some on my other posts because I missed my notifications.

When there are a lot of comments I know that my responses can often be a tad repetitious, but I mean them sincerely.

I feel the myLotter would lose interest in interacting with me if I repeated myself. Some do read others boxes and if they feel the previous or the following box has the same reply then perhaps what they wrote is not read.

It's not often I get that many, either. Usually, when I do many of my responses come slowly over time. (You know I don't write new discussions often, so it takes time for people to notice I've written a new one. ) After a while, I talk about things other than what the discussion was originally about. It keeps things "fresh" and fun.

I don't know how Pony can churn up posts everyday. May be he is trained to think like that. And he replies and interacts and has fun too with us. Amazing.

@vandana7 I don't know, either. I interact on many discussions so have as many responses to reply to but it is easier when the responses aren't on my own discussions. Maybe he can do that because he is crazy?

I find you not only replying to the person responding but also going to one of their posts and commenting. That is a tough call for me. Because even as I am typing this, it is being checked and rechecked for conveying correct meaning. I go wrong in grammar. That is ok. But I shouldn't be hurting another person because of my carelessness.

@vandana7 Yes, that’s the decent thing to do in my opinion. I overlook errors of those who don’t speak English as a first language and make plenty of typos and have silly autocorrects myself. I don’t understand what you mean by hurting another person with your carelessness. Please explain that comment to me.

I feel blessed when I get few responses. LOL. Generally posts that get few responses are of substantive nature. So it is easy to put brain in gear. The replies also do not look repeated.

It's been a long time since I've had that many comments on my post but it has happened before and I would just answer them one by one. But I do like getting people that will talk back and forth.

I love to get huge number of responses. That shows that people here like to interact with me and also that means more earningsThe maximum that I have got is 39 if I remember it correct. Most of my posts get 20_25 and some just end up in single digit. You should be happy

I usually like maximum of 10. I get to interact properly. I feel satisfied. Ironically, most people are inclined to respond on posts that do not have material content. LOL Earning here hardly makes anybody a millionaire. As I said, this place is for fun, knowing things, venting, etc.

@vandana7 Here earning comes as a extra bonus. I use my online earning accumulated for good purpose. And mostly it goes to charity.

Copy paste is something I never resort to. But when so many myLotters are saying same thing, the comment does seem quite alike, and then it makes me feel the need to find something more to add just to let the person know you are read and you are different and you are noticed.

No, you're not violating anything. I reply as the notifications come in so there aren't so many to deal with at one time. Otherwise, it can be overwhelming. I'm glad they started putting the newest responses at the top of the list instead of the bottom. It makes it easier.

I read all of the Discussions from the people that I follow first, comment on them; and then I do the Notifications. It can take from 2-3 hours every day.

Honestly, your 10 to 12 responses is equal to 35 responses.I love reading your posts because you do not bore your readers and they really are making sense at times. Iam not that active and happy with what i participate here.
