There are many duplicate interests on Mylot. I wrote about this a few days ago. Like if you add mylot as an interest there is also mylots,mylot.com. Many are the same thing just worded differently. Some have more members than others. This happens sometimes when someone can't find what they are looking for when they want to post something so they add their own.

yes. you are right. they just express a different way. So when you see a discussion you reponded before. will you keep comment it?

To be honest in the 3 years I have been here I haven't seen that many duplicate posts. Of course you run across a few that are similar but not word for word. Heck I have even done it a time or two unintentional. But I am sure I may have and answered the two that were simular. But if I see one that is word for word and it was posted at different times I steer clear.

yes i do think there are many similar topics around. i think that's because there are many people around who try to steal discussions, many of my discussions have be stolen and put it in a different way. that is really bad an i really don't appreciate it. i think i will report abuse them if i find anybody stealing my discussion.

Checking for mylot dicussion guildline, you will see that " pls DO make sure you search for exist topics before start new discussion." but it's very difficult to follow i think. Mylot have a lot of new members everyday and they are not familiar with mylot dicussion guildlines, it's inevitable for them to start similar topics, but indeed have a lots old members also make same mistake...

Yes. its very diffcult for us to check if there is a same topic that other people had started before you. But i think its ok. we know when i start a discussion there will maybe have a same topic. But what we start is our own opinion. Others comment your discussion is the only advise for you. Thanks for you comment.

I think taht's normal. There are so many members and tons dicussion being created. And even using search features to find out is still hard to track it down. So don't be hesitate to start a discussion and express yourself.

Yes, it's true! Sometimes after I responded a discussion, no longer after that, I find other discussion with most similar title. And I also think there are so many repeated interests here. I think many things you can look at from different aspects but it's the same thing indeed. It seems you can get the same place by different ways. After all, there are so many mylotters chatting at the same time. It's common, I think.

I believe so. I sometimes read a topic which is very the same issue that I read before. So I guess some mylotter are too lazy to think of a topic for their own discussion. I create discussion once in a while if I really need an answer for my question or need some opinion from others.

I have noticed that too, and it is hard to find different ones to post to. I alsways go by my interest too, but most of the time there is nothing to post to. I find it very difficult to find something interesting to post to. I just wish tere weren't so many similar discussions out there. Most of the ones we get, are from newbies that don't know what has been posted and what hasn't. I just keep trying to find good ones to pust to though, as I do enjoy mylot a lot and wouldn't want to be anwhere else. Good luck to you and happy mylotting.

yes, people sometimes are thinking the same problems,when they express themselves,they use different words and styleand from different angle.so we could see a lot of simillar discussions from different point of view.it's ordinary.do you think so?

Yes. i think i need understand it. Sometime when i start a discussion that's what we want to start it and get some advises for others. and i guess i should comment it. Because its normal.
