Are you keen and particular in posting comments to responses received?

For me the discussions here are more like communicating with my friends. So I like to comment and counter comment whenever possible. Sometimes there are some responses where there is nothing that you can countercomment. And sometimes I do not have the time to post in my counter comments. But whenever I get the opportunity I sure comment and counter comment.

Hi Dpk...sorry to disappoint you ,because I am not the one you are looking for......Though I just cannot comprehend how you are able to look out for any one when you are surrounded with dense fog??? well on a more serious note,I have also noticed that there are some who are prompt to reply to the responses to their posts,but the majority do not even bother to check and reply to their responses.It may be due to paucity of time or due to their ignorance of the fact that that comments and counter comments not only make the discussion lively,but also add to their earnings...... BTW just a sec Dpk.....Your post is making me wonder whether you have kicked out all your old friends from your list and whether you have started making a brand new friends list at the start of the new year..In that case I would Like to tender an application to you to include me in your new friend's list........And perhaps I am the one you are looking for........

What I look for when responding to a discussion is some indication that the member who started the discussion actually reads the responses. It can sometimes be unrealistic to expect that every response will receive a comment and that would be solely because of the number of responses. If however there were only a dozen responses then there is no reason why each one which adds to the discussion did not warrant a comment. I do not automatically expect that my response will receive a comment if there are a lot of responses, unless of course I have asked a question about something. Often when there is a comment to my response I will make a further comment, if I can add anything to my original response. The other reason I would add a comment is if a question is asked of me or if something is added that I did not think about myself. This is a discssion forum and that is what we should be doing here, discussing topics of interest. There have been instances where I have responded to discussions and later find that the member who started the discussion never makes any comments to any of the responses or awards a best response. Or perhaps gives best response to the first one when it is only a few lines and it does not address the topic. Those sorts of things indicate to me that it is highly likely the member has not read the responses at all. So in the future, I will not bother responding to any more of their discussions because it is a waste of time. It also indicated to me that the person is only intersted in the money and not what others have to say. Each to their own I guess. I personally do not start many discussions and in fact have not done so fro over 2 years now. My reason is simply that when I am away working it might be days,weeks or even months between times that I can log in to myLot. My personal opinion is that it is rude not to read and acknowledge those who respond and so I prefer not to start discussions until my circumstances change.

Hi there! When I start a discussion, I really want to know something, everything that there is to know about that certain topic. Therefore, when I have questions to ask, and when I have a related experience that I can share, I always do so together with my thank you for their participation in the discussion that I started. That's actually one of the reasons why I haven't started much discussion ever since I went back to school because I won't be able to actively monitor the discussions that I started. I believe that discussion should be worthwhile conversation.

Hi deepak well, i will say that i agreee with "purily ur personal comments"" that "post look dull and drabs without comments and counter comments. well i love to comment and counter comment on nice and lovely discussions, specially of my friends. and its always my priorty to response to comments or counter comments first rather than to responding new discussion. i like the thread going long and others joining in. so i think we think alike, but i am sure u cant add me again as i am already in ur list take care

Hi dpk, I think this discussion is not meant for us (those who are already in your list). I felt it is an invitation for new friends (lol). But I am glad to give my comments on some points. I also noticed the same; some are not at all bothered to post a comment. May be they are ignorant that, it is very important to give a comment to the responders and it has two advantages, first it is an acknowledgement to those who responded, we read the response and valuing it, second we can earn money (but not for single lines). I hope your discussion will educate those, who are not interested to reply back, if they don't have time for an immediately reply they can do it according to their convenience.

Dpk, It feels good to recieve a comment on a response that i have made. In the same way it would be only right to comment on each and every response, unless it falls into a category of abuse.... There are those who do not commment and the reasons for them not doing so are best known to them. But to keep the interaction lively i personally think the more the comments the better.

Hi Deepak the fact that we are friends since forever here proves how we both appreciate commenting and counter commenting and keep interacting till the end. I think a proactive interaction is the true essence of the forum is and I find you going by it i every sense of the term. It makes the discussion so interesting, revealing and meaningful. I would hate it not to find out what someone has to say on my response! Having said this, I must admit that I can't really do this all the time and get late in catching up. But then, the inclination is never the less.I run short of TIME. Thanks for being a wonderful friend here.

As long as I am able, I will ALWATS provide a reply to every response I get. This is a communications forum and to not make the effort to reply pretty much defies the wholepoint of being here! I understand that it is not possible for many to reply to ALL responses they get, but they should at least make the effort to respond to some of them. Any user that never replies to ANY responses ever, will not hold my attention for long and I just won't interact with them. Replying to responses opens the door to further interaction, is this not what we all aspire to here? It also gives your own thread more exposure too.

Hi Deepak, I see that you have been punished for the crime that you did not commit at all...but don't worry, now I am here to fight your case.....lol. So Rose dear, cupid and Sreekala.......you all call yourself friends of Deepak, then how come you did not have faith that deepak will never betray his old friends, have you seen anybody so honest, innocent and loyal on this site.....he is the only one who will always give first preference to the discussions of his friends, he will not only respond to discussion but also to comments and sub comments.....and his content will always be positive one that will make you happy and never hurt you in any way. so if he is a person who never hurts anybody, don't you think we all as his friend should keep our ragging and teasing to some limits at least for Deepak.....All that deepak wanted to say is that, he has wonderful friends and he would love to have more such wonderful friends. He has a big heart like deep sea and both old and new friends can swim comfortably in his loving heart. Nice discussion deepak, hope you find nice friends, and they will become our friends too, and we will be a happy family here on mylot.

i admit that i am not keen about it but when i have time to comment i do so for every possible member who have given me comments. I wish i do the same but i am involved in many sites which cuts my time towards mylot.

i agree when you go and see discussions that people have made and never replied to their replies it does look dull.. i try to reply to all my replies but some times after awhile i cant catch up or a lot of the people say the exact same thing and i dont want to keep repeating myself etc..

I think it will be good if one could reply to the response he got for the discussion he started . That the way to show your care towards a friend who had spend some time to respond and read your postings.

Hello deepak! Well, I guess you know me better already. In every responses that I give, if someone commented on it, I really tried my best to comment back. It's a great feeling that someone is interested to know me better and that someone is interested on my posts. I guess if someone did not comment on my every posts, it gives many speculations and sometimes I may think that he/she doesn't like my answer. I know you too deepak, we've been interacting here and although as I can see you haven't commented back some of the members who responded to you, it's reasonable because you got many number of responses on your every posts.

I always post commends to received responses. I like to have a DISCUSSION. We are not posting short news here, we are discussing. If I want people to read my philosophy, I would start information blog and wait for comments. I have a lots of fun in here only when I can communicate with others. If someone starts too many discussions per day without responding to others, I usually avoid that person. It is very selfish and it doesn't pay on the long run... Counter comments? oh yes, I like it too... When people are in good mood, we can have lots of fun... Others? they don't know what they are missing... HUGS

Hi dpk, thanks for your friend request and I’m glad that we are friends now. Yeah, I will try my best to leave comment on every response received on my discussions no matter it is a new or an old one. I hope that my friends won’t feel bored to read my comments. It doesn’t matter whether the responders would have interest to read my comment left or not. I feel content and cheerful to see my discussions with both responses and comments on them. Of course I have to spend much time to take care of my discussions, as I could have minimal time to type posts here during my spare time. That’s the reason I don’t start many discussions here. I would have further chitchat only if I still have something to express or to share with on the topic when receiving any email notification. Happy posting and have a nice day, my new friend.

Of all the responses I received, I make sure I will put comments on it so that my responser will think I appreciate their response even not all are helpfuland benefit my part. I will treat every response equal although there are best response for me so that if they will see my new discussion this will attract them to response again or even just view it if they are not interest and rate me. I want to treat everyone my friend or not that they are welcome in my discussion. Also if their response really helps me a lot I let them know, I am sure it makes them feel good.

I am not sure as how to answer this. I respond to my own discussions in the way that I see fit. Sometimes people do not add something that I could add too, and in that case I will just tell them that I am appreciative of their response. I will sometimes go to their own discussions and respond to them in a way to make up for what I could not add to in comment on my own discussion. I am trying to be better in making long thoughtful discussions, comments and response so that people may be able to respond to me and I to them.

This looks like a great bunch of people to be friends with. I would be honored to be on each of your friends list. I will always comment on any of your discussions that I can bring something of value to and will always respond to comments you leave on my discussions. So, if any of you would like a new friend please start the paper work and I will approve you straight away.

Hello my friend dpk262006 Ji, I think you are right to conclude that each and every responses must be commented. I always wish to honour them. It is our morale duty to comment after we get responses, I have seen you commenting and at times string become too large to follow. We are as it is friends, I will try and do the best. may God bless you and have a great time.
