Do you take long time thinking on what to answer to a discussion/post?

I always try to think about all my answers. I try to get the most knowledge regarding the topic that I can. If I do not know about the topic, I will skip it. In my own discussions, I don't think I have had any "deep" discussions, nor were they trivial. They were discussions about things I was thinking about at the time. Whether personal or just something crossing my mind. If it is a discussion about what color underwear I have on, of course I will answer quickly, (if at all) and think longer and more in depth about more intellectual discussions. I do not get upset if the "trivial" discussions get more replies. They are just more "broad" and more people can relate to them. :)

If one grabs my attention, I like to answer right away. But sometimes it takes some time to compose my response. Some just flow smoothly, but others I have to think about. It also depends on if it is late at night and I am tired or not; then it can take longer especially since I would tend to have more typos then and have more to correct(I still miss some). Some take longer because I have more to say and some I want to answer but have only a small amount to say.

I take my time, but not weeks maybe hours. I am an inquisitive person by nature, so thinking of questions to ask isn't hard for me. I also like to talk, so posting a reply isn't hard for me either. I think too much and I have a big mouth, which helps greatly on here, LOL.

I may wait a day or two before answering a particularly juicy topic, but usually I just jump right in. I figure I can always go back and add whatever I left out the first time. I also find that if I wait too long too many other interesting topics distract me. So, I try to answer soon, otherwise I might not answer at all. I do find that if I'm going to write a response I spend as much time as it takes to get it all out, and that can be a long time. I tend to reread and edit a lot, so I'm always spending a lot more time on MyLot than I plan to when I log in!

It depends. Sometimes I can answer right away and the words just flow. Other times I may think about the topic for a day before I respond. PEACE

i take as much time as i want/ need to take to reply to the discussion so that i can gather up all the information which can be helpful in answering the topic. i usually don't take much time to respond to discussions.

I do sometimes, depends on the topic and the discussion. It is my belief that the simpler discussions get more play because most ppl are here to get paid, and taking time to think about an answer costs them a penny or two they could be posting drivel answers to drivel topics. Do you like ipod? What is your favorite color? When is your birthday? Do you like to eat? Drivel, but they rack up the responses...but they get no response from me. I prefer to talk about things that matter...or throw out a rant to blow off some steam, lol.

I have quick reactions even to more complicated discussions. I dont thing that the long ones are allways with better quality then the others. Some discussions need and predispode you to answer quickly, others-not. I never judge the people`s answer because of the loneliness.

This is a very honest question and is much appreciated. I have never taken weeks or months to answer one, because quite frankly my memory is fading quickly and I would lose track if I didn't write it down. I do, however, sit for quite awhile and give the very best answer that comes from my heart to questions that require a sincere answer. For the questions such as "what color, what day, etc.", I don't answer at all, I just move on. To me these are not questions, just money grabbing posts and I don't need to promote them, nor do I need to make money badly enough to add my blathering answer to them. As far as the last part of your question, the only time that I have only kind of sort of felt a twinge of bad, is when I give an answer that I have put a great amount of thought into and send it off only to find that the poster has already named a "best response" and the post has not even been up for a full 24 hour period. But, even then, I don't feel that bad. I still know that I have given my best and hope that it will help in some way. ~Donna

I hate to admit this, but I give very little genuine thought to my answers, I go on impulse. Often subjects arise that I have considered before, but even when it hasn't, I like to go with my gut feeling, and just let the words spill out.

It depends on the post - sometimes I know exactly what I want to write , whether it is a simple or a complex post and other times I spend hours or days thinking it over - I don't think I have ever spent months though - my concentration wouldn't last that long! xxx

To what i call a fun post I answer real quick, infact I have already typed something befor I realy know what it is I am saying. But post that requier some intelect or deep thought I am slower to answer, I have to anilise the primiss of the question and base the primiss from where geograficly where the person lives as to not walk into an ambush. I also look at the persons other posting to get an idea of that persons general tone, Are they the kind who set people of a persusion up to answer them so they can then riticule that person? After thes things then I craft my responce to their perticuler predisposition as so I will not offend them with a very blunt or overly educated answer. However I will always be truthfull with my answers, but I will also be guarded with my answers not to reveil too much of my beleifs and or knowedge, As the old saying goes, I may have tought you everything you know, But I did not teach you everything that I know, lol. I love to respond to peoples questions of higher thought, espechialy the self proclaimed exsperts. These I usely give a shallow but crafted answer to draw a rebutal and then lay an epeffaney on them. As for your discussions, I love them, they are all over the map! And I like that, I don't like to stay with one subjest I love them all. polotics, religion, the sciences, litechure, and even evryday whos who. Your discussions always are fresh and make me change gears.

if you have to think than 1. the topic does not interest you 2 you are faking your reply in order to earn 1 cent. 3. you have no business replying THAT particular post.

I dont take long time thinking on answering a discussion/post, whatever pops out on my mind, that is it.

Hi missak, it depends upon discussion to discussion. like if i have cliked on my interst and chosen cooking, then it will not take lot of time to think. because discussion related to cooking never takes much of my time ever. i love to answer them. but if the discussion s related to life or in general opinion or regarding any problem of any person, which he or she is sharing with us, then it takes me time. some times a day tooo. but never a month, if i remember it correctly. i dont go and respond to any discussion. i answer only to discussions which are of my interest, which i feel i can respond properly, i mean giving them justice is the thing. there is no point i think, to just answer for the heck of answering it.

Most of the time I usually know what I want to say right away. If I don't, then I will probably just skip that topic. When I see some of the ones that I skipped, later on, when I am in a different mood, I may post a reply.

Certainly there are some posts that require more thought in answering, but I seldom take as long as a week or even a couple of days to answer. I just leave it for a little while, a few hours at most, then come back to it. Sometimes I will go to my list of friends and pull up old discussions and respond to them. I usually do that when there isn't anything current that appeals to me.

i'm not really good in english so i try to answer simple post first, when i see some post that really interest me, i have to really think hard answering to discussion, so far, i have been truthful to all my postings...on not getting any responses on good posting ASAP? .... no i dont feel bad at all! just said to myself that maybe i'm too serious for them,

It took me around several minutes to quote my best response. Sometimes a short sentence may do for me. No wonder I earn too slow. But I suddenly developed this skill when everyone was into earnings. The purpose mainly here to earn more and post more. I do simple replies yet sensible and straight-forward.

It depends upon the topic. If the topic is simplier, then you can post the answer quickly without thinking it for a long time, but if it's a little bit serious, then you need to spend more time thinking about it.
