I need more responses to pick a best response...

This is a funny post! No real subject, but... I have the feeling that you will get a lot of responses from people who love to get best responses. Personally, it doesn't matter to me. I respond when I have something to add to the discussion. If I get a best response, that's great. It does make one feel good! But, if I don't, it doesn't bother me. I have some "unresolved discussions", but I'm sifting through them. Some of my posts have 30 to 90+ responses, so it's very hard to choose! I always give a best response, but it just takes awhile sometimes. I'm like you in that I wait until the responses slow down because it's unfair to the late posters to choose a BR too soon. I gave a BR to someone after receiving about 8 responses and, wouldn't you know it, the very next response really WAS the best response! The only thing I could do was to give them a positive rating. I felt bad because they really deserved the BR. So, I wait awhile longer now, just in case. Take care and Happy MyLotting!

Well,yea,its a bit disappointing if your discussions get only 1 response or 2 or 3 responses.I think it would be better if there will be at least 8 to 10 responses in a discussion to be fit enough to pick the best response. Well,at least that's what was my idea a few days ago.But,I was tired of waiting for months.So,I thought there was no more point in waiting for responses to come which were quite impossible. So,yesterday,I resolved all my discussions whether it had got one response or 2 responses.I think leaving them as such would only increase the garbage and you won't know the ones you started latestly. But,I think its up to you whether to wait for more responses or resolve them now.I generally wait for 1 month to select the best response. Cheers! Have a wonderful day Happy mylotting and happy earnings.

I bet, missybal before the end of the year you will definitely makeup your mind selecting the very much awaited "pencil mark" for this particular discussion. Nevertheless you probably neglect to read all that you cannot pick one... Good luck.

I dont have alot but I do have a few and am waiting until I get 'more responses as I hate to give a response to someone who is the only one responding . I would say maybe five or six if that many as I do not do nearly as many discussions as I do responses as I want my discussions to have some meaning when I do make one and not just a tired replay of what flavor of ice cream do you like? thats just such a cop out and there are a zillion of them. the first few might have beeninteresting but come on surely we have more imagination than that. at least say what flavor of ice cream would you walk two miles for, or what flavor of ice cream would make you feel like throwing up? be original.

i haven't grabed a reponse as my best response for my discussion. i will grab it .

It seems fair that you wait till you have a fair amount of responses before awarding one on them. But on the other hand, it happened to me on several occassions that I got a response that was a first response or a second response and it was so brilliant and I loved the wit or the humor in it and I just simply had to give it the best response. And to be honest I dont think any of my discussions have the best response spot still open... But does that mean that you respond only to those discussions that don't have the best response listed yet?

Yes I do have quite a few but I don't like to pick one because I don't like picking from my friends. They all have something to contribute and all mean just as much to me as the other. I don't like saying "you're the best one" by picking a best response so I have pages and pages and pages of unresolved discussions and it's going to stay that way.
