Hello disvachic!(",) With your number of posts its not surprising that you have so many best responses. I wonder if other mylot members still count their best responses when its too many already? You must be a really best writer for people to give you the best response. How I wish that I'll be able to reach as many best responses as you have someday. Good going and thanks for sharing!(",)

Hello cupid!(",)You guessed the right spelling of my name and I'm kinda surprised since I'm using my name without an "e". Take it from everlasting, she's right! So, why don't you check it out and tell us how many have you got.

So far upto this date, I have sixty-two times best responded by my friends and associates of myLot. I am very mauh thankful to them all. I hope, I shall be equally able in future to respond well to every preferred discussions that I come across. All the best responses are my treasures of myLot activities. I always care for them in the usual process of my composing them. I think we should be always careful for a best response in our every response that we post. This will certainly improve the response quality and make our postings more useful for all persons in myLot! Thank you for this nice topic.

I didn't get a "best response" yet. I am trying to make post in high quality to get pen icon. If I can get a pen icon from the friends, I will give them lots of thanks and reply his discuss more often than others, I will check his very discusses frequently and try to put some thing to his discusses. By the way, do you know how to find the number of best response we get? I will get email from mylot when we get a pen icon?

Hello lani0529! I really appreciate when someone selects and gives best response to a deserving responder. It doesn't matter if it's me or someone else, because what I like is that the poster of the discussion took his/her time to acknowledge the efforts of respondents. It just shows that he/she has probably read the responses and have selected with some criteria, whatever that criteria may be. I am really annoyed when the poster starts a discussion and do not get involved with the responders, thus wasting the purpose of this forum. I also have a little dislike for the people who do not acknowledge the efforts of others by not selecting a best response. I always feel good when my response is selected as best response because it's an indication that my response was of some help or did provide some useful information or was something required. This very feeling gives me pleasure. So far I have only just over 150 best responses. After 100 it becomes difficult to count, so I have marked where my 100th was and I now count onwards. There are many discussions that I responded to which are still unresolved, I don't know how many I'll be getting from them, if any! I wish you and all best of luck for your experience here!:-)

Hi lani0529!:-) "I like your avatar because it's like saying "take my hand". It can be a sign of welcome or help. It's really nice!(",)" That was exactly the reason why it got my attention and hence the selction. There were other similar reasons too:-) I only hope that I have been helpful and informative. It's actually the greatness of the posters that they accept my humble opinions. I wish you the best and thanks for the kind words, same to you:-)

Hello Dan!(",) Thank you for dropping by and sharing your thoughts. Yes, its very true that giving "best response" should be given with care and should not be given that easy. It needs alot of thinking because it's something to be cherished. Have a great day!(",)

Yes you are right! Somehow, you will feel if the person is sincere in writing his/her views. Emotional attachment to that response really can affect one's decision of giving the best response.(",)

well... yes... but thinking to much could take time... it's also ok to give an best response based on the emotions that he provokes ;)

honestly i dont get many 'best response' so i dont expect any.i just love to reply even if the user already selected a best response.but i feel good when i see my response selected as best response,and i will message user 'a thank you'!i am not here to achieve many best response since i know my potential.i am little weak in english and there are many talented,really talented peopel in mylot.so they deserves a best response.so no bad feeling,but happy when i got one! i always try to resolve my discussion within a week .sometime i am confused to whom we have to give best response.sometime 80% are very good response!

Hello naadia!(",) Like you, I also reply even if the user already selected a best response because the main reason that I joined in the discussion is not because I wanted to be selected as the best response but because I wanted to share my views. I know others select best response by having a good grammar but for me, the content matters more than a good grammar. Thank you for sharing your thoughts! Have a great day!(",)

Hello sham!(",) It's okay, your one best response is indeed very meaningful to you, right? Having best response is a motivation to do better but in your case, I think you are more than motivated here in mylot. I do believe that you love it here and that you gained more friends and that's the most important than best response. Great day!(",)

Hello Lani(",) what is this (",)? Why you use it so much ? Anyway, i have 17 BRs, i think, it was 17 when i checked recently. I treasure them for sure, i do think i truly deserve the BR in all of the discussions where i've been awarded the BR. I think BRs really boost us to give our best shot. It is one of the features i love in myLot. The negative side of it is, some users might give sugar-coated or false responses just to bag the "best response", but still i prefer to have "best response" feature in mylot. Its a proud feeling when you win it. We all need something to get inspired from, "best response" is acting as an inspiring and motivating factor in myLot. Thank you (",)

Hello there!(",) It's a smiley!(",) It's my trademark that's why I'm using it so much. In that way others you read my response and discussions will never forget to smile when they see this sign. It means that I am always happy and gay. You are right! This feature sure motivates us to make quality posts. It's one way of encouraging us to do better and enhance our topics and alot more. Congratulations to your increasing number of Best Responses. Keep it up! Great day and God bless!(",)

i still don't have those pen icons on my name, maybe you can award me some? hehe. well, first of all it's really up to the discussion starter on which response is best. but then, i think considerable time as to be considered first before making the choice. as we know, this is a discussion based thing and future responses may still along the way. who knows, better response can come along and they will be denied of the deserved award. just my cent :) good day!

Hello dimaks!(",) I'm sorry but I have already given the best response award for this discussion. You have a point about the time frame for selecting the best response but still it depends upon the one who started the discussion. Like me, I used to select the best response after a week or so because I don't like to have an unresolved discussion running for months. Hopefully, next time that I will start a new discussion, you'll be able to answer it before I will give the best response. Take care and God bless!(",)

That's what I always feel when I get to receive a "best response" from my fellow posters, I'm thankful and happy that they do appreciate my "honest" opinion. I believe that these feature was provided by mylot, for us to enjoy and have a boost in posting here. Give our best opinions, contribute relevant topics and views, and also to provide information to the subject that was being discussed. My own way of thanking is, by giving them a (+) ratings on the discussion topic they've made..
