do you like to be the first respondent?

Well I just look at the content of the discussion and I never thought about this, whether I am the first respondent or second or .... Only thing that I look for what the discussion is about... Happy mylotting...

Hey there! I don't mind if I get to be the first responder or not. I'll respond to any discussion that I get interested to regardless of being first to respond or not. Have a nice day. Happy posting!!

Have never thought of it. I would if possible do not wish to be the first responder but sometimes I have no choice but to response to my friend who have not receive any response to his post after few hours of posting. So like it or not, I need to respond for friends sake even though I become the first responder.

Hi victorywp! That is so true! There are a lot of new discussions to respond to and choose from. However, I get to respond through email notifications and I would not really know if I am the first respondent or not. Anyway, it really does not matter to me if I am the first or if I am the last. All I am concern with is to catch up and be done with all the notifications in my inbox at the moment for they are really piling up each day. haha.. Take care and have a great day! lovelots..faith

Well, I guess it doesn't matter as long as I just respond? I think more importantly is the person does reciprocate & reply back?

I have never checked about the status of responses,if i find the post interesting and if i have anything to share and inform ,i will respond to the discussion.It does not matter to me that if it has received any responses earlier or not.

It is so much better to be the first respondent because you need not to worry about repeated answers. As much as possible I want my answers to be unique and it is easier if you get to respond first. Although, it is also a good thing to respond later and wait for other respondents so that you can read their comments, and assess if your opinions really matter relative to other opinions.

I don't mind either way. If I am first I can say what I would have said without the fear of repeating others but if mine is not the first I usually respond anyway making sure what I have to add has not been said already. The important thing for me is to have fun, help out everyone who is trying hard and not repeat the same responses all over the place. That gets difficult at times too because, as you said, there are so many discussions being started and some are repetitive too. Happy Lotting!

Hi there my friend. In general i don't mind being the first respondent to discussions but when it comes to money discussions that i do intend to answer, i like to wait for a few days just to make sure that it doesn't get deleted because of some other member that immediately decides to post his ref link in the topic.

I have never thought about the same. I just respond to all the discussions which I like or can add some value. I think it is really nice if you be the first one to reply to someone's discussion. I think unintensionally I have done that quite a few times.

HI victorywp! Yes sometimes I like to be the first responder. There are times when I select the no responses tab and start giving respond to the discussions and a first responder. The first response is mostly read by many of us. So our post becomes of use. Else if we are posting at the very last, that can be no use than just for earning. Mostly only the discussion creator would read such answers, and the other users rarely read those answer no matter how qualitatively you have written it. But still there are questions that I feel like to answer. Then no matter that is older I would response. I hope though old, the discussion creator give time to read it. Happy mylotting...

no it depends on how interesting is the discussion if i find it very interesting then i will not mind being the first one to post for that discussion but if its not that interesting or i donot like the topic i go for another one.so its depends on what topic the discussion is all about then i go for the reply for that topic.

i have actually never thought about being a first respondent ./though i have been the first one to respond many times.for me the only thing that matters is that if i think i have an opinion i like to express it..mylot is a place where one can easily express the views.....

since i have other things to do, am a stay at home mom, i prefer to respond to discussions sent to me via email. so, that means i'm not always the first respondent. when i was new and still figuring out my way here i was always waiting for that new discussion. but sometimes it is quite frustrating since it takes a while for a new discussion to pop out.

It doesn't really matter either way for me. Though if it's something where someone needs help, then yeah. I guess, in a way, I do like being the first person to reply.

Yes, earlier, if any of my friends started discussion, I want to be the first responder of their discussion.. but, as the days are passed by, the mood got changed.... and now if I have time and have the mood of responding, I will else, I wont....

I like to be first. It also depends on what its about though. I usually like being first though.

Personally i dnt have any problem to response at first.I will love to do it.

I never thought to be first respondent always,not because of any reason but topic should be of my interest.

I like being the first person some of the time when the person needs advice on something because then you know your response won't get buried among all the other responses. The rest of the time it's just nice to find discussions to contribute to and participate in since everyone is trying to make payout from month to month. I try to visit the profiles of people who respond to me and also the no response pages and often I am first because the no responses are new or no one has had anything to say yet.
