Does the 'Best Response' mean anything to you?

I was just curious if anybody pays attention to the best response icon a discussion starter adds to certain responses? I know why it's added, obviously, but does anybody look at it and go, "Oh, this one must be good."?

i personally think that its just another form of opinion the best response thing i think that should be taken off and we can jsut give our personal opinions to each individual....

You are suppose to put best response, but don't do it right away, see how many response you get. if you press best response right away then, you don't get to see what everybody else has said. well, I think you should wait to put best reponse, I would say if you know the topic is hot and if you get over 10 responses then put best response, another thing if you forget to put best response tey will take it away. I hope you understand what I am saying.

Do like I said wait for a while to put best response, you see what happen you probaly could have got more response if you hadn't put best response right away.

They take away the best response option? I did not know that. How long before that happens?

I like it when someone chooses my answer for the best response, and if I check someones profile, because they added me as a friend, I like to see their best responses, it shows their way of thinking and helps me decide rather to add them or not, although I usually add everyone.

i'm relatively new at mylot having joined about 10 days ago. for a newbie like me, it's nice to be able to express your views/opinions, even nicer when you receive a "best response" for that. in several discussions i've joined, sometimes i look up the best responses, too. for certain personal issues, who knows... those responses may come in handy in the future. generally, it doesn't matter to me whether i get best response or not, but i'll definitely make sure that i make quality responses everytime.

In my case, I appreciate all the responses made by my friends like you and other co-mylotters. Their responses are somehow unique from one another depending on their opinions and experiences. So I considered all their responses as good response.

I totally agree. I was just wondering what other people thought. Truthfully, I didn't even notice at first. That's kinda what got me curious.

I enjoy getting a "best response" once in a while, but I don't pay so much attention to those of others.

I've got a few best responses and I'm actually proud about that. LOL. Not sure if that's weird or not, but it is what it is. I guess that is just the writer side of me looking for recognition and respect. LOL. What do you think when you see the best response icon on other posts? Do you pay more attention to them, or just ignore it?
