What criteria and reasons do you choose to enter a discussion? I will give you mine.Please write-in about yours. [B]I enter a discussion if it interests me.[/B] That means the subject is of interest to me - I may or may not know much about that subject, but I am very interested to know. For instance, I entered a discussion on Martial Arts.I did not know a thing. But used the discussion as learning ground. [B]I enter a discussion if I know something on the subject and I have a clear view on it [/B]This one will cover the majority of my posts on myLot. [B] I enter a discussion if someone is misrepresenting something I know and care about[/B] This applies to subjects like Religion where things are generally fuzzy. I see a lot of people take the Religious Books too literally and get into all kinds of arguments. I would like to clear things up as this is one area I have worked right from childhood.[B]I enter a discussion because it is Question from an area of my knowledge and experience.[/B]There was this question under Management whether TQM is being used in companies. There was this question about how to distinguish between stroke and a severe cold induced leg pain. There were several discussions about how one should learn Correct English as a non-native speaker of English and so on and so forth. I have begun several discussions but there are some for which there have been NO Responses. The one facility I would love to have in myLot is for the author of a discussion to pull it down, if he feels there are no responses and it simply eats the memory. I have seen many sites where I had been and am blogging, I find this Edit facility to correct mistakes(Grammar, spelling,rewriting for clarity of expression and conceptual and the like)a very useful part of the choices given to a member. What do you guys feel?
