Responding to discussion via email

Hello redkathy, I always respond via my email as I opened a special email address for myLot. As usual, I don't know what others think about the topic and it is good that my response won't be affected by others. Sometimes I do feel like a stupid when my response is very much different from others but I just don't care. If the topic really attractive, I will read other responses after I posted mine. If not, I will go to the next discussion.

honey, this page wouldn't hold all the dumb things i have done in my lifetime. i don't think i ever blamed anyone else. i always got caught before i ws through doing most everything. lol

I am sure we all have days where we did something silly and put the blame on something else. When it comes to responding to notifications from mylot, I usually do it on my free time. I never turn on the notification on my emails so that it will inform me of new mail. Cos with the recent notifications from mylot, it will keep ringing non stop! And being a avid fan of mylot, I would be tempted to reply immediately. That would put a stop to my work. A big no no. I still need my day job to keep the bacon on the table! What I do is to let the notifications come in. And when I am free, I would reply to them. As many as I can at one go. This will allow me to keep track of all the notifications without it affecting my work. So what if I reply to them a little late? What matters is I replied to them. Some days, I would be so busy at work, I would be too tired to on the computer at home. So it will be delayed a day or two. Don't let mylot rule your life. It is a very good site to be on. Unless you can make a decent living from mylot alone and not need that day job, do keep your priorities right. No point getting a bad review from work due to your favorite site, rite?

Probably many times but I can't think of an example right now!

i do the same on responding from the notify email but i just try to hope that with my weird outlook on most things it wont be the same as every one else haha

Hi kathy! I respond to mylot via my yahoo emails! I don't read the responses before hand. I just don't want to be influenced in what I plan on writing. Sometimes I feel stupid because I have written something similar to what someone else has written and I think that they will think that I have "copied" what they have written. BUT, I don't copy anything! I have never copied, or even used the cut and paste feature at any time! I never understood why people get so excited about reaching 500 posts to get that feature. I couldn't have cared less! I just don't use cut and paste. I type fast enough to say what I want and it is always, honest and fresh each time I type it! And I intend to continue to answer discussions directly from my emails because that's what works the best for me!

Well, I think that many times we all get in a hurry due to a limited time to be in here and just hit respond without going thru and reading some of the other responses here first. But you know I think I have enough original thoughts and ideas myself to have to worry about looking like I copied someone. But there are times reading some of the responses first helps me get more of a better idea on how I might want to respond as well.

Yes, I wish they had a link to bring us to the discussion, not just to the responding page. But by now I know most of my friends are probably responding through e-mail, so I don't think much of it when I see them repeating something someone else just said. And just so you know, I respond through e-mail too :) BTW, I signed up for Ciao, but never got my confirmation e-mail. Must be something about that site doesn't like my e-mail address, how weird. But not much I can do, I don't use any other mail carrier.
