Are some discussions to long?

yes i do notice that some discussions are really long. usually, if the topic doesn't seem like it interests me, i skip it but if it's something that i like but i'm running late, i try to get back to it which will be easy if it's in my mail. but if it's not in my mail, then i too tend to 'let go' of it. hehe

I do not have time to respond to memoirs or autobiographies or rants. I want to make money on myLot and I have to get back to everything else. Why I am trying to get $1.00 a day and that leaves time for little else, Why I have not started on my novel today, and I only did a little singing practice. I only make my discussions around ten lines at the most and I cannot go and hunt for the real question. The trouble is some of these long novel type discussions are on the myLot digest and I have to reply to them. There is one member in particular who goes on and on. And I get confused, because I want to know the question, not the history of a relative and why I should get out my handkerchief.

i think yes, some are too long. i also do not always read and answer all those very big ones. but recently i went through on that was too big but very sensiotive. so i read and answered.

Actually Marilyn, I find sometimes the lengthy discussions are the most interesting and worth the read. I completely understand what you are saying and where you are coming from. It also depends on my mood, you might find that longer posts are of a more serious nature and I might not be in the mood to get into anything to heavy that makes me have to think. So I will find posts that I can just zip off a fast answer and let it go at that. Now on the other hand I am loyal to friends and if that means I must read I must read and post something LMAO even if all I can say is I have no idea WTF you are talking about. LMAO They are appreciative.

Yes. I will read some of those long discussions if they topic headline catches my eye and the content is full of good detail that interests me. I do delete alot of them though because they just do not interest me at all and they are a waste of my time to sit and read through the whole thing.

I too agree some are just really long. I will read longer post but some are just too long and I skip over them or just skim the. When I start a discussion I try to keep it short and to the point.
