Does it seem like you only respond to one or two people's discussions?

Wow Great Discussion and Hopefully You Will Get Alot of Replies, So We Can All Find More People To Respond To. As For Me, Yes There Are Only a Few I Respond To On A Regular Basis. Some People Just Have Great Discussions, I Hope They Don't Think I Am Stalking Them.

I have the email notify turned on for all 400+ friends iof mine. I answer whatever discussions arrive in my emails first. Then I also surf the site and answer non friends discussin that are of interest to me. Like yours right now. I do not do any certain members. I do a lot of various members, friends or not. It's the fun part of this site. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

I've only been here for about a month, I signed up a long time ago but my wife recently got me back to where I'm regularly posting. Some people ask really neat questions, consistantly. It's like when you're at a party and you walk by groups of people talking and you listen to their conversations, and you go..."nah....nope...uh-uh...wait a minute..." and you see that person who has a solid group of people talking with them, and, here's the kick, they're having a good time. I've noticed here on mylot it is usually people who have posted ALOT. They don't seem to run out of things to say, or maybe just questions to ask. They take the time to leave feedback. It makes their conversations worth engaging in. I'll admit that I'm lazy and when I finally find someone who asks good questions I'll write back to ALOT of their posts. I try not to unless I really have something I think is worth saying. I hate starting a conversation and getting a response that I can't even write back to if I want. Articulate people are a minority and that is a skill that makes them popular in chat rooms and on blogs. I'm not interested in meeting any people here, I like them to stay on the computer where they can't ask me to watch their kids or borrow money. I'm just here for the conversations and ideas.

You may stalk me any time. I felt that way when I first signed up here and had not yet hooked up with some of the more articulate members. In fact, what started making myLot really interesting for me at the beginning was when someone sent me a friend request followed up by a PM saying, "I hope you don't think I'm stalking you, but..." We ended up being really good myLot friends and friends off myLot as well. I try to reply to all of the discussions started by all of the people on my friend list if it is possible to make some sort of contribution, but sometimes it isn't possible, lol. I know what you mean! I never worry about what people here are thinking, though. If anyone doesn't like my comments, then I hope they would just take me off their friend list and then I wouldn't get notices of their discussions any more. Anyone who thinks I am a pest should do that.

I think partially it's true. I tend to see the same 10 names or so come up in the discussions that I answer, mainly because, I guess we have a lot in common. I don't really search all of their discussions to make sure I respond to them, I just find things that interest me and it turns out that way.

I would take it as a compliment if someone responded to most of my discussions. I like good quality discussions and tend to pass over ones that are hard to read or need to be deciphered. Therefore someone who posts quality discussions is automatically more likely to get a response from me. I also tend to look at discussions started by friends first so if they are on my friends list they are even more likely to get a response from me. Now you made me nervous though, so I will have to watch that I don't respond to one person too much. I don't want anybody thinking I am cyber-stalking them....lol.

I try to answer a lot of different people's posts. I, of course, answer posts by my friends more often (as I think is everyone's habit). But just to limit yourself to responding to one or two people seems to destroy the point of this community.

Hello! No, not usually. I respond to lots of people, but of course Granpa Bob...I respond to your discussions all the time. Hehehe. I also like looking through recent discussion list because there are usually a lot of good discussiosn. I wouldn't think you were stalking me just by answering all my discussions. No, I don't care what users are thinking about my discussions, heheh. Have a nice day. Pablo

Hello highflyingxangel, I am replying to every one in my friends list who are posting new topics since I have my notifications everyday. So, my target is to respond to all of them. There are topics that I am escaping not because of spelling and grammar but I feel like I have no idea about it.

highflyingxangel not really as I try to respond to as many of my friends discusssions as I possibly can and I have my favorites of course but I do not respond to just one or two but maybe more likely to twelve or fifteen as I have a lot of friends here I really do care for. i do not worry about what they are thinking as I have enough to do just mylotting and responding and making a few discussions myself. I try my best to make my responses interesting and intelligent too.

I've noticed there's people who's discussions i read regularly. I cant say i respond to everyone of them, but i enjoy reading them. I try to respond to a variety of people's discussions. I feel like if i stick in the same "group" I get stuck in a rut and run out of things to say.

I respond to the posts via the notification from my emails, and I go to top discussions anfd I check them all out when I can, but I go to my friends first. Some times it seems I like discuss more of one person, but I try to mix them as much as possible.

I think about that too, I don't want them to think that i always check out what they're doing, but i don't ok! but you'll know the people who really gives meaning to what they say and you think that it could be nice to have a conversation with them, at least that's how i feel. but i also like those people who gives effort to make a discussion to me or to other people. but sometimes i can't help but to think what they think of me, like if they think i'm being a drag or something and they can't get rid of me...

I've only been responding from two persons. One is my friend. Another is the one ask for information about what time go to Xinjiang is the best. I will reply everyone's response,I like do that.

Yes, when discussions are of interseta nd when my mood is alright, i do particpate in many threads of interset and it is also fun answering thsoe isnt ita nd i also stand to gain when knwoing soem unknown things around and if one loses interest then it will be very difficult for them to go on...

Actually, I have such a wide variety of discussions and interests that it seems like I'm all over the board when I respond to discussions. I just go through and start responding and hope I get through them all. **AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~

I do seem to respond to quite a narrow group of people's discussions but only because they are active and post discussions regularly. I've recently added a lot of new people so it's getting more varied than it was a couple of weeks ago, lot's of my old friends are less active or have left for one reason or another.

I have a few people that always answer to my discussions, no matter what the topic and I never feel that they are stalking me. In fact, I really like to see the same people answer to my discussions. It makes me feel that what I have to say is important enough for them to answer to or that they hold me in high enough regard to take the time.

Lately, it seems that I do. Those people are on my friends list and out of 7 pages of friends there are only a few that are posting right now. Usually, my friends post good content and great discussions which I'm thankful for. I never worry about what they are thinking though they do appreciate the response to their posts. I don't think anyone would think badly of you for liking something that they have written.

I don't worry about it at all. That happens to me too. And I only notice it when I have posted a lot of comments already. I don't worry about what they think. In fact, I think they should be happy and thankful that we are participating in their discussions. So I don't worry about that at all.
