Do you go back to discussions to see if someone answered you?

Your dinner party analogy is a good one artemis. I try to answer responses in discussions that I have started as long as there is enough for me to work with. I feel that when someone has taken the time to try and add to my discussion, then the least I can do is reply or attempt to answer their question(s). I feel that it is more a series of unrelated posts than a discussion/conversation if nobody is reading and reacting to the comments being left. You can't expect others to follow everything that goes on in a discussion that someone else started. They may not have the time, interest or inclination to do so. I don't always have the time to get back to everyone right away, but I try to respond to as many people as I can eventually. Also, I try to start only as many discussions as I can handle responding to. Some discussions get fewer responses but, if enough catch on, you can quickly become swamped. Cheers.

i respond to everything i receive. mylot is so much fun for me. i liked your idea about a huge dinner party, that was a cute way to look at it. there is quite a hodgepodge of different things on here. u sure can't get bored w/it. have a good one.

When I leave a response to a discussion, or even a response to someone else's response to someone's discussion (did you follow me on that?), I always get a notification from mylot about the comment made back to me after I left my own. And I always go back and read and rate it. Along the way I read other people's responses and I may add my own two sense to them as well. But that is how I keep up with who commented back to me. I don't go back to the discussions to check, I just wait for mylot to notify me.

Sometimes..depending on the discussion....I really am a bit disappointed that so many do start discussions and you never hear from them....like they didn't even read what you responded....so sometimes I do....sometimes I don't!

of course i do but when i open my email i can see all the notifications there. i also check so i can give them comments and answer there questions if ever their responces are with question. i do also enjoy responces that i learn a lot as well not just they responded because they like to response. sometimes i dont comment on them all but i do read every response i have. i hit the positive rate if i really leanr something from that response.

I certainly do cause I might miss something. May it ba a question for me or an added information I just want to check back. When you look at the discussions I started, I always have a reply for eveyone. I don't know why but i feel like I'll give them the impression that I don't give a damn to what they've said so I make sure I get back at them.

sure, i will. i know i will know the knowledge that others told me. i think it is necessary for you to appreciate others. you will know what other's mean. may be you can reply other's anwer ,then you may be a friend of others. so i think go back to discussions to see if someone answered you is necessary. my pardon

Yes i do! I think that is a good habit here in myLot because it promotes interaction and healthy discussion. Sometimes we learn something new this way and sometimes it's kind of addictive. I think it is also a good way to thanks then topic starter and going back and responding kind of sends them a message that we appreciate their effort. Though there's is no rule about it, i willingly go back to check for new comments. Some people come here just to earn so i really can't blame them.

well yeah i read all those who respond to me and i respond to them also. so you have the point there that if you start discussion and somebody respond, it may lead to more interesting discusion. happy mylotting.

Yes, of course I do. I don't make a new topic just for the money

I go back and check for replies, of course. It wouldn't be much of a discussion if you just have your say and then leave. It's supposed to be give-and-take. I'd really like to know too if somebody had something to say about what I had to say.

hi ya its like having a universal dish in one plate....nice dinner discussions with many and many subjects....fully liberal stuff but we are paid less for our discussions that makes us let down...but still spend more time on mylot only....so keep mylotting. bye luv shek india

I would love to hear what others have to say about the discussion I initiated. Personally, I post discussions that I am really interested in. I check responses and rate it whether positive or negative as a sign of my appreciation for those who bothered to comment on my post. i love Mylot. Im quite new here but I am already hooked to this site, The exchange of ideas and information is fascinating and fun.

I like going back and reading all the responses because everyone has a different opinion and something to contribute. I have always been curious about what people have to say about different things and myLot is an excellent place to share points of view on every topic that comes to mind. I have been replying to everyone who has posted something on the discussions I've started so far and planning to continue. However, I guess how long I can keep doing that will be depending on how many responses I receive. Cheers!

Yes, I always go back to the discussion i replied to. I want to know what they can say about my answer and know their opinion. I even want to response back it have still have sometime to say.

Yes, I go back several times for seeing the response generated by my discussion. I g back for giving answer to the response generated by my discussion.

yeah,of course or why you think we start discussions here?we expect to see more comments on our discussions and I will read them all and see what I could say to their comments

I like to go back and see what response i got for my discussion,i will directly check it in my mail,how many responses and what are they.If i got a question then i will defnitley answer that question.

Yup,i do go back and check my discussion to see if there any responds,and if there is,i will go and respond every one of them because i feel that it's a way of respecting back.
