Do you resolve your discussions, or leave them hanging?

I usually don't bother marking a best response unless one really grabs me. I also worry about marking a best, then someone else posts and I like it better. But now I am going back through my old discussions (they are all 1 year or older now, since I have been inactive for so long) and trying to resolve some. I even pulled a few back into the current rotation. For some reason it bugs me to have so many 'unresolved discussions' as if they are just dangling there, waititng for some type of resolution in their lives. Like they can't move on until they have their closure. Oh my poor discussions, how long I have neglected you!!
What about you?

I guess I had the same mental crisis a few days ago myself. I went back through my old unresolves and I did resolve some of them. I was too tired to do all of them, but I felt like I accomplished something with the ones I did. It did bug me to see them hanging out there but I can't promise that I'll always stay on top of them.

I think I got quite a few, but not enough to see any results in the number of pages of them. I ran into some I didn't feel had been resolved yet, so I pulled them out of the pile and dusted them off. I wonder if anyone will want to respond to a discussion started 2 years ago!!

It's funny you should say that because I responded to a discussion a few days ago thinking it was a relatively new discussion only to find out it had been started 2 years ago! I think that was why there were so many responses to it (500+). And yes, the topic was still relevant today as it dealt with strategies to get more responses on mylot.

W, I don't like to respond to discussions that have over 20, cuz I don't know if the person who started will want to wade through that much. Plus, the answeres all start to sound the same.

Actually it depends on the type of discussion that I will make and the kind of responses I will get. Usually after a day or two and nobody else is posting in my discussion, I will look into it and if a certain response caught my eyes I will mark it as a best response. But if none of the responses is good enough for me, I'll just let it be.

I don't like to mark it until I am satisfied that it got enough answers.

Hi there, I have observed some users here who resolve the discussion within 15 hours or so without waiting that others too could add their response there. And you know a discussion which is already resolved people do not tend to respond there.
As for me I do not keep the discussion hanging for a too long time. I wait to pour response for more than one month for some and some others in 15 days time. I still have a lot unresolved ones but would surely select the BR from within them.

Back when I was more active, I answered a lot of discussions from the e-mail notices. I wrote many that I thought were very good and had a shot at a BR. Then when I went to look at the discussion, the poster had chosen one already. Sometimes one of the first responses, so no one else who came along a few days later had a chance. That really bothered me. But then I decided that it really didn't matter...
