Do you ever feel like your running out of options when it comes to original topics on Mylot? I don't often check to see if a topic has already been discussed on mylot before I post something, but rather I think of something and just post it but afterwards I notice that there are already several posts on whatever topic it is. And it makes it appear as if I've copied other posts....I hate that! And I'm sure that after I post this I will see several post just like it. Do you feel like mylot is so full now that there are hardly any interesting topics left to discuss that haven't already been discussed?

There are only so many topics under the sun! But the variations are infinite. We make comments or start discussions from our own perspective, and that's what makes them original. Also some discussions are so lengthy that it takes a lot of courage to wade through them ccmpletely. So some ideas do overlap.

I like the way you put that about it being "from out own perspective and thats what makes it original" I didn't think of it that way so thanks for pointing that out to me. Very good point!

So much of what I write is from personal experience, so I feel like it is pretty much original. I do look at the bottom of the page when I post, and look there for things that are similar. Even when I was new on myLot I found lots of similarities. I remember answering six very similar discussions in an evening, with similar, not identical answers. I have searched topics before posting them, but usually it comes up with no match.

I guess thats what my problem is...I try to hard to think of interesting topics, but what I should be doing is just wrting from personal experience like you and then my topics will be more original. Thanks!
