Do you think it's coincindental that as soon as you create a topic here on mylot that someone goes and copies it? I think they should do a search or something. I see this and wonder why it is? What do you think?

Sometimes it could just be that people are not wanting to come up with New ideas on their own, or feel that people who have been members here a long time if they start a New discussion that is a Great idea and maybe they can draw a lot of hits and interests from this as well.

I always thought that after the first couple responses you are not paid anything..I have been distant from mylot..since I am quite busy full time at work..but find it helps me unwind to come back here. I usually start discussions, myself,on things that are actively going on in my mind and which I would like to have some imput on.

Just two days back I red one discussion, though I did not participate in that and seeing some responses I wondered a how the members are doing so. Just read the 4 th and the 11 th responses carefully in the discussion http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2057484.aspx Will it be a coincidence?

Sometimes I wonder if it isn't the same persno with 2 accounts? If not, you are right.. it's hard to know if such can be considered conincidental

I don't think that they'll get the same number of responses, since I don't like to reply the same thing over again. There are some question that are about for example internet, that are asked over and over again. I only will reply once in a while if I I open the discussion to see what it's about.

I agree..once a topic is gone over once or twice..it's over..and done with..I put a topic and got a few then someone took it and redone it with one word difference. I thought that it's obvious what they are doing.
