Well, basically no. I know most of the myLotters here don't bother to go and check what topic they posted. So, when I see replies on my responses, I try to respond too if I have time. But if they would really coment on it, I would appreciate such act. Take care

I do expect,not only the owner of the discussions but all the members here.We are in public so,every body can comment on the response I have made.Also this is how my response is validated,if somebody agreed then I have a good point,if somebody dis agree then I need to adjust and accept the truth on myself.Have a good day.

I never have. I mean if you have the time to respond back that is great but if not that is fine to.I use to try to respond to everyone that replies to discussions that I have started but some of them I have stopped responding back to espically. If I get a one work answer or if some one gives me a reply that upset me. i try to inore those.

Well, I don't always expect a response, but I do think it's nice when someone does respond to a comment. That way you know atleast someone read your comment. If I ask a question, then I do expect a response. It even annoys me when I don't get a response after asking a question.

I don't expect a response to all of my responses...the ocassional one is nice. I am aware mylot says not to thank everyone for their response and also aware that its silly to repeat one's self in saying things so...I find i respond to as many as i can to a discussion and then leave it at that so as not to break the rules.

My answer is NO. I don't expect anything when I respond to discussion.

It depends if I asked him/her another question or if I gave too much effort to the response and I want some praises or words of agreement. I do not always expect, since some of the responses to discussions doesn't need comments. Anyway, it doesn't happen all the time and few discussion starters comment on the posts.

I don't really expect to have them respond to my comments but it is good to know that they read what I say say and say what they think of my comments. I try to respond to all of those who comment on my discussions too.

Normally, I wouldn't expect a comment to be made in response to my response (sorry for the double word). I will only expect it if I asked a question in my response or I asked for clarification on the content of the discussion. I have the tendency to reply to comments made on my responses, so I actually hope that the discussion starter or someone else don't make a comment to my response because then I have to do some work.....

No not really as everyone is different, I try and comment on my discussion responses but sometimes there is nothing that you can put after a response. I think its nice to though as it shows you have taken the time to read the response and appreciate peoples efferts. Its nice if the discussion starter does respond but if not that is also fine for me.

No, i don't expect any comment on my response to discussions here in mylot. But if there are some comments may it be from the one who started the discussion or any member of mylot, I would be glad to have a discussion with them and share views on the topic. I like to exchange views to anything. In that way, I will learn more and have a broader perspective to life.

I don't always expect them to answer my comment - i guess it depends on the nature of the comment - if i say something special, or put a question, than yes i do expect a response. Take care !

Sometimes I expect the creater of the discussion to comment on my response. When I - for example - put a question in my comment, I think it's only normal for him/her to comment on my response and thereby answer my question. But sometimes when I see a discussions has about 40 responses and I didn't really say something in it that requires a comment, I don't mind that the one who started the discussion doesn't reply to my response. I try to answer/comment on all of the responses I get in my discussions. Sometimes that's hard and there are also times that I forget to comment on some responses but I usually am able to comment on all of them. :)
