Is it good to get so much responses?

I perfer a amall responce with great answers, and maybe the chance to learn from each other, Or maybe its becouse I have never had more than fifteen responces, (ha, ha) We can't all be masters of oration like you. Great job on your hot topics.

I really enjoy discussions with twenty to twenty five responses. It is easy to converse with that many people. I do not answer every response with a comment, I do not have the time to do that. I never even check the hot topics page to see if I am there. I do not start many discussions anyway. I am happy for you, if it makes you happy.

I do not think it would hurt at all to get as many responses as possible. I think it is always a good thing.

It is very good to get so many responses. It is also nice to acknowledge them as you just did. Even if you don't have time to comment to each and every response, the people that responded will all appreciate it if you will at least read and rate their responses. Wait for a few days and then select a best response. As long as you are doing your best that's the best you can do. I hope that I answered your question if it was that good of a topic! ~Donna

I really don't care if I get a lot of responses. Like you say, with many responses it is hard to answer each one and feel very personal about them. It's also a headache to pick out the BR from so many! lol. I don't know if your earnings go up when you get a lot of responses or not. On the other hand it is kind of a heady feeling when so many people reply!

Hi Missak...wow..50 in one day that would feel a little overwhelming. Good for you my friend...you are resonating with a lot of people out there! I posted a couple of topics a week ago and have had around 27 responses...with long comments. It took me two days to work through them...and then some came back and added more to the same disucssion so just when I was caught up I started all over. In regard to your question. At this point I am committed to answering as many comments as I can with answers geared to what they said...even if it takes a long time to do so. To allow me to do that I stopped posting discussions for a couple of days so I could get caught up and also take some time to visit members who regularily contribute to the perspectives site. I guess my feeling on this as a relatively new Mylotter...I don't want my site to be so loaded with discussions that I cannot do justice to the responses and have time to dialogue with others on their sites as well. If that means I have less friends...but more meaningful discussions that is what it will be. If I cannot do justice to the disucssions and provide a response sincerely geared to the respondent...then I would examine my reasons for what I am doing. I am, in every area of my life a communicator of ideas...if I begin to operate on a surface level...I'd probably close down my site. From my perspective...everyone within the Mylot community is a person..behind the screen of their comupter. I want meaningful, authentic exchanges with people on-line and off...so I will go beyond the 'thank-you' and cut back on discussions until I am caught up and current. Now remember Missak...that is just my perspective...I trust you will know what is right for you...because you are a smart, intutive person. Shows...by the number of responses you've received!

wel that is really great, congratulations to you. i should make some discussions of my own. but i find it easier just to react to other ones.

I try to comment to those that have some original points espically if it is a post that I started that gets a lot of responses. Some of my disscussions I wish I had never even started at times.

Rub it in why don't ya? I use to get a lot of responses and I loved it. I like seeing so many diffrent opinions and ideas. However since I have returned from my 3 month break, I am lucky to get four. :o(

i think i prefer to have get many responses than few responses because atleast ur friends respond of try to share their views and ideas here about the topic and its the time u can response them and its a way of discussions.so we have to respond in order to have a communication or discussion.

Of course the more you have the more you earn I think, but then again its the quality of responses that I like to receive. I like hearing other peoples opinions and views on my topics I post.

I don't mind either way. I have always commented everyone's responses to my discussions. Whether I get 10 or 100. I usually respond back to them in an insightful way. Directed at their particlar reply. I never just say "thanks" I have only done that when I don't really understand the poster's reply. I think I am warm and personal in most of my responses to the person replying. I don't get all worked up over quantity of responses, etc. I kind of just go with the flow. If I get 10 great responses, then of course I like that better than 100 not great ones. But whether I get 10 or 100, I am content.

although I am trying to put things straight, whatever I could but it seems to me very few people are interested.

The advantage is that, this shows how hot your topic is and how people are interested in your topic. But the disadvantage is that... it will be hard for the person who post the threads to give reply in short amount of time, and that, for people who haven't read the post yet, but want to read the post, it would be hard for them to read each and single comments by other users if they wanna know what's each user's thoughts. lol

I like the few responces I get for that way I can comment to each one as they deseve if I got 100 responces I would never get to say thanks to all of them.

I like to answer each one too,but sometimes there is not enough time.There I make one general post answering all of them about every ten or so.

I think that between 10-20 response you can still give good comment to your friend and read them all. But once I had 80 responses on one of my discussion. Maybe it was too much, but still, I red all the comment peaople have left, but I didnt write to everyone. But I did rate everyone who left a comment :)

I would find the most difficulty is picking up the best response. And if you give a long comment to each one, you don't get paid for it. A simple thanks is enough unless they wanted you to explain more in detail. Anyway it does give a good feeling but I would not count on it You have to eliminate the parrot answers from those that make sense. The ones that respond because they sort of thought about the post are the ones that count.

That really is a good question missak! Even when I have lots of responses it is very rare that I can't think of somethin to say to those who respond to me that is relative either to what has been said or to the respondant themselves! I like either a few or a lot - I still manage to have conversations with some peopke no matter what! xxx

To receive/get more response to a topic or discussion that one posted is a great feeling. That shows the topic caught a lot of interest and generated a lot of ideas from a lot of people who have different views. But you are correct, it is hard to comment on all of the responses that are received, so, I think its best to just comment on the first few responses and just go over and comment on some responses that needs clarification.
