Would you reply to a topic that was the same to one you've replied to before?

Yes, i will reply. But i have a suggestion for those who start a discussion which is similar to the topic talked before. u can first use search bar on the top of the website to find out if there is a similar topic talked before. Maybe u can find ur answer in these discussions and need not to post a new one.

Personally, I would reply to such a topic because both parties (the one who started the "repeat" discussion and the one who replies) will benefit from it. The person who started the discussion might not be aware that the topic has been started before, and who knows that the discussion might be on an issue or a question that the discussion starter really want to get an insight on. So, as the responder to this discussion, you will not only be able to help another person clarify their doubts or just contribute to widen their horizon on the topic, but you will also be earning from mylot at the same time! In fact, I remember there was once I responded to this discussion about how to quit smoking, and there was another time when somebody asked the same question. I just replied to the new discussion, quoting my previous answer, and I earned from that! Yeah, so you can see, I'm not only helping the other party, but I'm helping myself to earn as well! So all in all, we shouldn't be choosy when replying to discussions - just take all and answer them!

well, i don't want but i have to. otherwise i will respond nothing on mylot . yes i finds huge number of similar discussions here. many of them are mine . in my case, it's usually because i don't know if the discussion was being started before, as i always forget to search it first. sometimes even topics which i think are genuinely mine and nobody could have been started them appear in the similar discussions section, right under my newly started discussion. regarding the similar discussions i respond to, i usually try my best to respond differently, using different substances and words.

I do, since the person who posted it has no way of knowing the question has already been asked. But I will try to add something or delete something and somehow make my answer more original, instead of just saying the same thing over again.

; I feel and I think if there is an other discussion on the topic I have already replied I will read and if some thing new I mean new contents are there I will always respond that discussion because the comment I will receive would give birth to one new discussion or I will be able to extract some new topic for a discussion.

honestly speaking i would not reply to the similar topics which i have replied before. if something interesting is going on there then i will think i should reply or not. otherwise i think its waste of my time to write similar answer in to similar question. but i have some extra and some interesting point that i have not written in previous answer than i will surely like to reply and will try to discuss more on that topic.

sometimes i will if i have some new ideas but sometimes i will not if i feel i have nothing more or new to say. but there are also times i respond to the same topic discussion even when i haven't any new things because i want to increase my posts. lol

Its not bad if you give a different answer to the other times. Then you're making a different contribution altogether. There are bound to be similiarities here. Just give different answers.

I do as long as I have something to say. But if I feel it is clearly a copy paste discussion, I would not reply anymore because I am thinking that discussion would be deleted if myLot admin would find out about it. And I don't want my response to be deleted too. Have a nice day!

I did. Oftimes, I saw cases asked by different person at a different time, usually a newbie, who ask for an information. I would answer it over and over and I think answering it would help them. Most of the time, I am reiterating my previous post with different words, but with almost the same thought. Most of the questions I have answered repeatedly are: what are stars for, what do you think of mylot, how do you feel and similar questions.

Of course, I will reply it too. Because myLot has much members and still growing up, so find the same discussion is not a rare thing. I will reply it, but with the different answer and sentences. Keep post Happy myLotting...

I totally agreed with u... i will re-reply the post that the topic was the same if the post is asking for opinion... it is becoz i think the 2 user who open the topic din release that there is a same topic n they really need opinion.... so they just open a new topic for discussion to get opinion... so i will re-reply... =)

I would reply too. Though the topic may be similar for sure the discussion will be different. Different sets of people will be involved so it would mean new ideas, new insights. :D

Ya I will reply. The same reason as you. Lol. Sometimes the same user will start the same topic but in different interests. In that case I will not reply. Otherwise it doesn't matter to me for replying. I would be very happy to answer the doubts in mylot. Hehe. I don't know why. So definitely I have to answer the repeated questions. Lol. Happy mylotting. Have fun.

[i]Hi rose, I have tried when the post is interesting and I can relate! Oftentimes, I will give the same thought but i know i deliver it differently! With 142 thousand plus members here, I am sure having similar post is very possible! Specially about love, life and marriage and all![/i]

hi friend I try to reply to the topic even though i have replied to the same topic before. If i like that topic i will reply to any number of members without any hesitation. I will try to give some different opinions from the previous one,so that if a person who had already seen my opinion in the past may not get bored off with the different answer i'm going to give.

If somebody posted on the same topic as somebody else, they probably didn't see the first post. Sometimes I reply, sometimes I dont'

I think you must be a patient person repeatedly replying to the same question! If I see a question that's almost exactly the same as one I've already answered I avoid it 1) as it might be the same question I've already answered!, 2) I don't want to have to write a different point of view to make my answers different. I like to write what my point of view really is, not create pretend ones, and 3) I like the variety of discussions on myLot. I'd get bored answering lots of discussions that are very similar!
