Hot Discussion Topic

Not that I've ever been in that situation but I did receive around sixty responses once and found it best to go reply to them as the responses were received. I kept checking back so that I could keep up with it. I don't nominate best response until about three or four weeks after I've started the discussion and I reply to each and every one as they come in. I also rate the good responses as I go, so it's easier to pick a best response when I do carry out the task. Brightest Blessings.

As long as someone replies to you, I feel it is only polite to read that response. Rate it or not, it's up to you. But it is always polite to at least go through it. Even myLot does not encourage us to reply to every response to our discussions. So for me, I selectively reply to the witty ones or ones which I see genuine effort. If you receive overwhelming response to your discussions, give yourself a pat on the back. But hey, don't sit there smug and take things for granted. People take time to support you so once again, make sure you at least read it. But after I mark the best response, it means I want it closed, sort of. So I may choose whether or not to respond to the responses. But I will still read it and rate it personally. If you have several quality responses and really can't choose the best, do a random dance or give it to a friend. Up to you really. For me, I did introduce the virtual medal initiative which I think you might recall. ;-)

I read every single response a mylotter posts on my discussion. You aren't supposed to reply to them all, but I read every single one, and reply to many. Almost all of the time I give a best response after 4 weeks, but if the responses are over 40, I might give a best response after a little over a week.

yes i do try to respond to each response i can't say it is done immidiatly but it is done and is very important to me. i always read them and rate them. about the best response and choosing it..here you got me, i have many unresolved posts that i did not choose the best response yet..i do admitte to have a problem in choosing it so i just wait a week or so and then read again all the discussion and make a choice usually i think that the person that took the responded very "deeply" and interesting - he takes the crown..
