They know nothing about discussion yet answer it anyway - asuggestion

I expect it is because people who do not know the answer may just stop by and respond to your post because they are your friend and are giving you support. They often do not have time to search for the answer either - especially if they are working. I love it when people stop bye to say hi even if they don't know the answer. I know that they would answer if they could.

Well, they are on this site for the same reason that many people are on this site. It's not for the discussions, or the people. It's simply for the money that they earn while doing so. It gives them a reason. So, with this simple fact in mind... Why wouldn't somebody reply to everything they possibly could.. Even if they no nothing about it? The earnings from the replies. It's not like some of us have never done this before. We have all probably replied or talked about something we no nothing about, whether on here, somewhere else, or in real life itself. If you think about it for a few minutes, the answer becomes clear enough.

When I get one of those non-responses, "I don't know anything about what you are discussing, but have a nice day and happy MyLotting", I just ignore it and pretend it isn't even there. Also, I don't see the point of this kind of response as it is too short to count for anything except as a response in your total. I don't think you get paid for one-line responses. It is useless to respond when you have zilch to contribute to the discussion. I have also noticed that the purveyors of this type of response don't last long on myLot anyway.

If I have nothing to add to the discussion then I just do not answer. I follow the guidelines where it says: add something of substance to the conversation.

I find people that do that really annoying. Also these people that give such short and useless responses mustnt know much about how mylot works, because in order to generate any kind of income from postings you need to be posting informative and quiality responses, rather than just 'yes' or 'no' or whatever. At the end of the day they're wasting their own time really. What is even more annoying is when you realy need an answer and you post it then it goes in the articles with no responses section and somebody with only one or two postings so far will just put 'no' or even worse, just gobbledygook because they think it will increase their posting number more quickly. If you want to participate then you should do so, if not then why bother signing up anyway? I dont get any e-mails from mylot. I opted out because I know I dont have the time to check them all but I can see your point and agree.

Sometimes I will see that a long time has passed on someone's disscussion, and they still haven't received a comment from anyone. So I will drop in to give what information I can. I mainly figure that the discussion starter can look up online for the information he\she needs anyway.

Just recently I have started a discussion which is similar. Its very annoying sometimes. I have seen its everywhere in mylot. In many responses the user is not sure about the topic, They just reply to increase the post number and earn revenue.I started few, they responded some with no value at all.

Hello suspsnsful, I agree with you, and I avoid discussions unless I can add something supportive, objective, or pass on some information that's helpful to the discussion. I started a discussion recently, and got a one word response, "toon" and I have no idea what the poster was thinking. Have a nice day.

I quess I respond as time, energy, and mental status allows. I try to respond to everyone on my friends list but sometimes I have to pick and choose. Hope this answeres your question?
