Do you follow up with your posts?

I always try my best to follow up every post I have received after I have created a new discussion. Occasionally I would like to check back the recent discussions I have responded and to add some comments if necessary. Let say if I were so lucky that to receive many posts after starting a new discussion and couldn’t reply all of them in the same day, I would then answer them during my leisure later. I am afraid and feel sorry that sometimes the replies I have given might not hit the right nail on the head. Anyhow I don’t start any new discussion if I am rather busy as I always worry I don’t have sufficient time to take care of every post received. I find it is lots of fun if I have spare time to chat with the responders in certain topics of common interest. Happy posting and have a nice day.

I try to as much as I can becuase I want their feedback

Yes, I generally follow up with all my responses on the discussions that I start. However, if I am getting a ton of responses and most of them are the same, I will respond when I read something different or have something to add to the discussion. I also won't answer posts that have really short replies that don't give me enough information. And, I also won't respond to posts that are provocative or show signs of hate speech. But, that's very few of the responses that I've ever gotten. I have responded, I would say, to about 90% of the people who have posted in my discussions.

I will definitely do follow ups on discussions because there will be more things to say or something new may just come up to create a new discussion ^_^ But i also know that some wun wanna follow up because we dun earn on the follow up.. Thus, it also takes two hands to clap ^_^

Hey gitfiddleplayer, I do follow-up on mine as much as I can for various reasons. Sometimes it is because I am posting a discussion that may have to do with my life, or a friend's or even a character I would like to have some feedback on certain subjects. Plus, like you said it also encourages deep conversations and insights into further topics of interests. I have to admit I have become quite addicted to this site and I know starting next week I have to start setting limits as to how long and often I am on here....ugh. I used to be addicted to Myspace....but the paying you thing drew me to here.... Plus, sometimes we do not fully get the point across or someone's response sparks another deep thought you forgot. Happy writing.

i do. such a great thing to know how people respond. gday!

hello gitfiddleplayer... how are you? i do respond to the comments and responses that i get and i wait till i get further comments... i thank to those who respond to my discussions. and if they ask me any questions then i reply them. have a good day.

I tend to try and get to know some people if we seem to have some common interest but with so many people on here its hard to really get to know each person. But I keep a notebook and keep small notes now so I can try and keep it all straight. Its much funner on here if you know people and are having fun.

I wholeheartedly agree with your reasoning. We are creating friends here, but they only become real friends when we get to know them to some degree. Following up on posts is a great way to do it - it shows them that you are really interested in them as a person. I have made lots of good friends here just by following up on questions asked of me - and it's reciprocated.

i usually do,but once in awhile you'll get one that no more needs to be said on..it really depends.

I always like to check the reply for my reponse. But somtime there is no any reply.

When I first started I still was learning how things went here. I would start a bunch of discussions and not reply to them not thinking I had to I would just read the responses. I would respond to one that people started. I am now 3 weeks into being here at MyLot and now will have to go back and answer the one's that have replied to my discussions started. For all that did respond to my discussions I want to thankyou for all your great responses and I will get back you just give me some time for I have alot of catch up on. I haven't forgotten you now I know what to do. My opologies to you all.

I try to follow up with everyone that responds. Here lately it has taken me a couple of days to get back to everyone though. I also like to tie up the loose ends so it feels more like an actual conversation rather than a bunch of posts.

I just started doing this a couple of days ago myself. but yes..when i have posted a discussion then i will definately follow up on it. quite honestly a discussion isnt really a discussion if x amount of people are answering your question and you arnt responding back. to me it kinda defeats the purpose.

Yes I do. I check them from time to time. It's very helpful because your discussion will be active again it will come up right on top of your discussion page and besides it's how it supposed to be in here right? I do ask if the respond is not that clear to me.

i do follow up some of the posts. but most of the time, when i answer i will leave it after i replied to it.

I do follow up on posts and try to answer them all. There are a few times that I have managed to get quite behind. This is my busy season for work, so still need to do the rest of "How To Live To Be 100". as received a lot of responses.

Yeah, I usually do if I have time. But the problems is, most of the time I cannot really remember all the topics I have posted and if I look at them one-by-one I'd waste too much time. So I depend on the email alerts by mylot that a post was replied to. But sometimes, I have noticed that these alerts are also not on time and they don't post all of them at all. So for those who have replied in my post and yet I wasn't able to reply back, I'd like to apologize and hopefully I could reply to your post as soon as possible. =)

I've also only been here a month(actually less than a month), but yes, I respond to my discussions. Generally the topics I start are not just yes and no answers, they require talking back and forth. I agree with you that it should in fact be a discussion as opposed to a one-time response to a question.

Yes, I plan to. So far, I have tried to follow up all the post response to show my gratitude for sharing their opinions. As I read each response, ideas just keep pouring in, so it's really no waste. It's fun. Sometimes, so far the response are funny and inspirational. Take care =)
