I try to talk to everyone that joins in on my discussions, but it is not always possible with everyday life coming first.
If I cannot make a response then I do not as it is pointless but I do try. If you really are short of time and know that you cannot respond to anyone at all in your discussions then the best idea is not to set any. People will become fed up of responding and you not saying anything back to them.
I now only start discussions up at weekends when I know that I have the time to respond to everyone that talks to me. But if I know that I am going out or will not have the time I just answer to other peoples discussions instead.

It does work out better for me, because in the week I do not have that much time to respond to everyone and as a consequence have left many unanswered. This way I know that I am going to have the time to respond, I also only set up a few discussions as well so that I can keep on top of them.

I like this response the best, Gemini rose. Sounds like a good idea to create discussions right before the weekend so you know you will have time to do responses. I am new here at MyLot and so I am still learning my way around here. I will always try to reply to discussions I create as I feel it's important to those who take the time to comment may want a reply from me.

No, the only response I make is to support those who have responded to discussions I have started-in most cases my response is to appreciate what they have given their oppinion on-I find it not so much in order to respond to my own post directly.

Hi,
I will respond to all the responses I get from mylotters. I think that it is important to give comments because it is a habit that all mylotters should have. Giving comments is a way to show appreciation and thankful to responses.

I always comment on all or most of the responses. I would find it rude to start a discussion and then not care enough about the responses to go back and read and comment on them.
If you start discussions and you lack the time to read the responses and comment, why even bother starting them, let alone why should people bother responding to them in the first place? I am sorry if this sounds offensive but I think that if you want people to take the time to respond to your discussions the least you can do is take the time to read their answers and comment to them!
I would suggest that you start fewer discussions about topics where you care about the answers enough to put the time and effort into reading them and comment on them.

ramyashreesk hi i spent the better part of an hour this
morning resp;onding to the responses onone of my
discussions as there were 43 responses. Ijust had not
had time before as I was busy responding myself. You could
do what I did,just set a certain amount of time you can
use for responding then do nothing else til you have
commented on allthe responses. I feel so much better that I
got one of my discussions finished.
