do u always reply to responses you get for discussions started by you?

I also try my best to comment on their responses because it is satisfying that one's response is also being answered back. On the other hand, if there are no comments, its ok with me.

ya i too definetly will reply to all the disussions i have started if i miss one day i will surely check it out for the next day and surely reply to all of them.and i wil surely rate them if i get the exact answer or that answer satisty me. anyway all the best keep posting have fun enjoy mylotiing.

I try to. But there are times when I can't possibly do that due to time constraints. Even if I do not get to comment or reply to their responses, I make sure that I rate the response. Well, yeah, sometimes I do not reply or comment to the responses of other people especially if they are a bit offensive to avoid conflict.

Yes I do make it a point to answer each and every reply. But sometimes I may not get a notification in my inbox and then i am able to give a reply only when I check on my discussions. Happy posting.

It depends on what the person has commented with. I try to at least thank them for taking the time to respond, but I always feel a little bad that I do not have more to say. Of course, it would help if some people did not write a short, one-lined response that basically says "yes" or "no," especially when the topic gives plenty of 'room' for the person to elaborate on their response.

yeh i always do to let it known that i do read all the responses and also to show my gratitude for the respondents as well... it also helps me to know a little bit more about the member becoz sometimes i follow-up the thread with questions pertaining to the respondent so we can interact...

I too do try and reply back to the responses provided they are not just a short reponse of just some 4 or 5 words and also as you said not offensive. It is important to rate the discussions as it also gives the ranking to the person posting the discussion and encourages them to post more.

well not always but i reply to most of them. =)

i do. cause i dont want them to feel offended that after their long effort of responsing from your discussion, whatever their reason is, i reply as much characters as i can. it would pull off another conversation again after i do. :)
