Just finished commenting to 80 responses...

Well done! I only reply to those responses that I have anything to say to other than "thanks for responding" because I think that that is a little bit pointless and I don't think it is a "good post".

I don't mind responding to my discussions and if I have the time I do it. Its hard to balance working full time and answering to more responses than you expected to get. I don't delete them from my emails though and when I have time I eventually get to them. Even if its a month later. LOL.

I try to comment back to everyone that replies to my discussions. Sometimes though I do skip a few. Espically if they answer it back with one or two words. I figure there is not much sense in wanting to answer them back espically if they only say yes or no. I have had a few do this to me. I always reply with yes what? or No what? I never get a reply though.

When you get that many responses, it is quite tiring. I don't feel I need to answer them all, because mylot cautions us about using the same words like 'thanks' or 'good response.' They say in their guidelines that can get a discussion deleted. I know everyone doesn't expect me to respond to their comments, but if I have something more to say than just thanks, I'll make sure to reply to them. But I read each and every response. I think it is admirable that you do too.

wow! what agreat and interesting topic asretdd, who attracts so far 80 people here and I know you will still get more..LOL, I have tried that once..When my topic attracts 97 members and i really find time to drop messages to all who responded my post. I know it will not earn much but I just love doing it!

First of all, congratulations on having a discussion topic that is that interesting! I can't seem to do topics that interesting! LOL! And, second, congrats on responding to all of them. I am a firm believer in showing my appreciation in the same way. I don't pick and chose whom I respond to. I don't think it is fair to respond to some and ignore others as, like you, I appreciate the fact that people took the time to read and respond to my discussion and, to pick and chose whom I think deserves a response would be a slap in the face to others.

woww... that is really a very tedious effort... i really salute you for being able to create a post that attracts 80 responses and your ability to comment on every single one of them... i never been able to create a discussion and receive 80 posts... so well done and keep up the good job... take care and have a nice day...

I also try and respond to every last response I find it fun personally. I do skip some but only if I really cant figure out what it is they are trying to say to me. Or if I am gone for days and cant catch up lol.

That's a lot of writing and work and time to do just commenting on responses in your one discussion. I do not add a comment to each and every response in mine. I comment when it is needed or neccassary is all. I've had discussions with way too many responses to reply to each and everyone. Good job and have fun. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

i did once like that. it also took a lot of time. i just get surprise how people do taht by just commenting all hundred responses taht they get. they must be very much active.

I usually comment to everyone. They took the time to read and write their opinion. I just want them to know that I have read it and appreciated the comment.

i am now working my old discussions that not yet denotes best response. i have more than 300 discussions in queue. i read all comments on it. although it takes more time to do so but i will do it for the seek of my friends and the ideas they share. thanks for the nice idea and reminding me to continue commenting on my discussions comment.

Holy moly!!! EIGHTY???? I'm lucky if I get FOUR!!! LOL Congratulations!! Seriously - you hit upon a topic that attracted a lot of attention!! I try to respond to all of them, myself, but it may be brief and it may not be immediate, depending on how overwhelmed I feel. But, I do respond. That way they at least know I read their response.

I also try to comment to all responses.

I like your attitude! I would never dream of ignoring the responses that myLot members were kind enough to give my discussions. I appreciate each and every one of them, even those with whom I might not agree. For one thing, I never start a discussion just to be starting one--it will always be something that I am interested in knowing what people will say. Otherwise, it wouldn't be a discussion. It would be like a blog post, not social networking. Capiche?

Hello aseretdd, That is one of the reasons why I always look forward for your discussion. I love reading your comment and it is very fast especially whenever I respond while you are online I prefer to respond first and whenever I have time to comment, I will check my own discussions and at the same time choose the BR too. I wish to thank you again as you always help me by responding to my discussion when nobody cares sometimes. I do appreciate that and if you don't hear from me, leaving a comment for your response, just bear this in mind - I do appreciate each and single response that I received and as you know I am struggling to do my best. Just be patient, sooner or later I will definitely leave a comment though it might take me a year to do so

me too,I will try my best to reply as many as possible.but in your words,we are also tired after long time to on-line.however,it is interesting and worthy,isn`t it?
