From now onwards I'll comment each and every response I receive...

Hi coolmailraj! I feel that if we do not comment it is not a discussion. Those who take time to respond to us are more likely to return again if we comment back to them. I do this even when I have very many responses. I prefer to comment to all before starting my next discussion and I leave another question too so that maybe they will return. Some do and we exchange several comments and we get to know more about each other in some cases. It is fun commenting back too and, of course, we are paid for comments too!

hi raj, that would be ideal.. but i do feel some of my myLot freinds are very famous for their discussions and gets loads and loads of responses, that it may be hard for them to comment on all the responses that they've received.. true, it would be nice if we get comments for our responses, you feel that your response was noticed and read.. and sometimes i get comments from other members.. that makes me very happy, too...

Yes you are very correct, we do feel nice if we see just a ‘thnk you’ against our responses. Many times I have got BR from people who have not bothered to write anything at all…well the BR says that the person has read and liked my response but is that all? And then in discussion with no responses, I don’t even know whether my thoughts have been read or not! However, time is definitely a constraint. It is one of the reasons why I don’t start any discussions myself…I cant really finish all my return responses and then I do feel bad about it…recently I have having responses to my discussions which are soooooooooo old…I am feeling guilty about not responding back…maybe one day I’ll do just that…write a note of thanks to all of them.

I have been doing this for more than a year now... before... i would just choose a few responses that i will comment to... but then decided to just comment on all... since we also get paid for that... especially if the comments we make are substantial... aside for that... this is also a way to get more response... since the discussion will appear on the recent discussion list...

Its a good thing that you wil want the people to feel better so that they respond more and more on your discussions. I have tried that once but could not get the desired results. So you can also try the same and if you get any good response do share with us.

I've always found you to be excellent for replying to responses. I never expect them each time, but it is nice to get them. I agree that it's nice to get thanks, but be careful to add another sentence or two. It's against MyLot rules just to thank people...I've never really understood that. How is everything going for you? Haven't seen you to much lately. Take care friend.

yea,i do that anyway for the most part.every now and then you get the odd comment you don't have an answer for,but it's a small percentage.

You are right. It's common courtesy to respond, even if very briefly to anyone who took the time to read your discussion and post on it. I don't start too many discussions for that very reason. As my time is limited, I sometimes am unable to answer every response in a reasonable period of time. It's common courtesy to acknowledge the writer.

One of the 'don'ts' of Mylot discussions is not to answer each comment with a thank you or something like that. It doesn't make you any money. They want the comments to be meaningful. It doesn't bother me if all my comments aren't commented on by the person posting the discussion. I don't answer all mine unless I have something beneficial to say, either.

Hi coolmailraj, I agree, when I do any discussion and when I recieve reponses, it doesen't matter how many I get I always respond back to everyone as it is just good manner to do that because people took their trouble to read your discussion and to respond to you of the topic, so it is good manners to reply.

Keep it up coolmail! That's a good practice. Mylotters would be more than willing to respond on your discussions if they know that you comment back. It shows that you really read the things they said on their response. It's also a good way of starting a good friendly relationship here in myLot.

It's good to respond to discussions,sometimes it does make the person fill better. Sometimes I wounder if some only respond to just their friends responses. I have been in many discussions and the reply that I make would be before someone else that said about the same thing that I have just said but mine will be skipped over. So yes it does make you feel like that person doesn't care if you respond or not. This is one reason why I haven't been on here as much lately, no one responds to your discussions or you don't get a reply when you respond to other peoples discussions. Sometimes it just makes me feel like I'm wasting my time.

Good Man, you are going in the right way, you are lucky to find that much time which is not the case of others [I am mentioning about myself :-)]. You see, by doing this you can just discuss over a particular subject instead of just leaving a comment and forgetting it. After all, that is what we call as a discussion.

Yes you are right. But I really don't comment on every response I received. But I really appreciate everyone who responded to my discussion.Sometims, I am too sleepy to comment. But whenever someone comments on my response I feel good about it.

Yes, thats a great idea...Ive always commented on all my responses that I get, I comment with an individual response, if at the very least I will say thanks...Its a discussion forum and these responders have taken the time to answer so I think its rude not to.

It is nice to receive a response from the person that you took time to respond to their discussion. It shows they care that you sent a reply. It's a common curtesy.

ya u r right, that helps you also and also the responder. The responder gets paid if u add comment, and may be your comment be further responded by someone else, that will help you again and if he/she does not add comment, still the responder gets stimulated that this person adds comments and he/she chooses your discussion first to respond.

I always respond to comments on my discussions. I also usually respond to responses on my comments on other's discussions. I like to have the last word, I guess.

I always try to comment or at least let someone know I have read what they think,to think someone has taken the trouble to respond it is manners to comment or thank people for their time,even if they don't agree with me but that what makes the world go round different peoples opinions,love suzzy3.

I feel guilty because did not give any comment on the responses that i get. Is this said discussion if we don't go back to commenting? Guess what! Sometimes my connection stuck when i reply my discussions, so i restart my computer. I try what i can, so i cannot give any comment if i do not understand and have problem with my computer. I will be back!!!
