Hello friends. Its just a simple question that do you like to respond to those discussions whose best response had already been declared or just neglect it even though it is of your interest?????????? As far as I am concerned I don't see Best Responses, if the discussion suits me, I respond to it else not.. What about your thinking. Tell me frankly and true. Thanks for your responses in advance.

this is the first time i encountered such discussion. well, for me, it doesn't matter if the person had already given out his/her best responses, as long as the topic is good, i can relate to it and very informative.that's obviously fine with me. i don't even care about best response anymore. Have a great Day

Thanks for your responses both of you. the actual reason to start the discussion is to tell many of the users of mylot that even if the best response might be awarded, your response will not hamper your earning and you may receive much more earning than your BR if its content is good. Happy myLotting.

If the topic of discussion is really interesting I would not mind responding to it although the best response for it has already been declared.

There are many times I know I am too late in responding to a discussion in time to get a Best Response. It could be due to the lack of time I have to be active in here, or it could be just that I might have missed that discussion earlier, etc. but for me I feel that no matter when the discussion might have been started if I feel that I have something to contribute to it, it is worth responding back to it as well.

Yes, I do agree with your point and even some late responses may help in reviving the discussion again. Happy MyLotting....

I do. I respond to a discussion deepends on the discussions whether it appeals interesting to me or not. No matter if the discussion is declasred for best responses or not, I still respond to the discussions, I think when people deserve a best response because they don a good job but it doesn't mean we cannot post responses right? :-)

Mermaidivy, I am just like you. I never bother about the best response has been given out or not, it is nothing to do with my response to that particular discussion. As for me, I always comments on discussion that I am interested in, or I have something to say on the discussion. So Mylotters, try to give your responses according to what you like!

Thanks for your responses and comments both of you. I also do agree with both of you that we have to respond to discussions in which you have good knowledge of the topic not just by seeing whether or not the best response has been given to it. Happy MyLotting.

I still respond to an interesting discussion, although 'mark best response' has been taken. I participate in the discussion is not to be the best response, but as pleased with the discussion topic.

i will still respond to a discussion even though it already have the best response, only if that discussion suits me... even though that discussion has best response already, i will still post my comment, idea or something for others also to read and relate i they can...

If the discussion sounds interensting and the best response has been chosen, I will still respond. I have seen amny a disucssion that way, and I have still responded. I feel this way, that I am still going to get paid for it,so I might as well respond to it. I only find discussions that are interesting though. If the topic isn't interesting, whether it has the best response or not, I won't respond to it. Good luck to you and happy mylotting.

Hi thedeathknight, If the discussion is a discussion type of, I would give my responses if it is an interesting topic. But if it is a question and answer or problem solving type of discussion, I wouldn't give mine. Fo me, once the creator mark the best response, I assume his/her problem being solved or his/her question being answered. If my friends started it, I might just put a comment on one of his/her responder response.

For me it does not matter. Mylot is a place where you can discuss and respond to anything and you are not limited to just respond to discussions. You can actually respond to all discussions as long as you know what to say. I actually do not check whether the discussion already have the best response. I just enjoy respondiong to discussions without thinking of anything. Keep posting. Happy mylotting. Have a nice day. jeff

Hi, friend. I am here neither to respond to the discussions that suit me nor do i respond just to increase my number of posts. I try to respond to a discussion that, i think, is really worthy for it. So, as such, i don`t look selectively for those which have not got the best response, but if i come to know that a best response has been marked, i don`t respond to it. Coz, there is no use telling somebody the answer to a problem for which he/she has already got an answer!! Happy Mylotting!!

Hello friend. I praise your truthfulness, but I do think that this may not be a good criteria because there are many discussions which are here to know a general opinion of people on that particular topic, like this discussion of mine. Now even if I do mark BR in this discussion it is not a kind of discussion that is over, rather even after that people can respond to this discussion. Happy MyLotting.

I too respond to any and all posts, if I believe the discussion suits me. I figure there is no "best" response as all responses have some variety to them so there can be potentially good advice in multiple responses.

How do you know there is a best response on a topic, and what does that mean? I read the topic and respond.

Hi deathknight, Afraid I don´t usually look to see what is the best response. If I want to answer I usually answer the one I feel like answering and not because it´s the top discussion or anything like that. I just like to participate I´m not trying to win a race or gain medals for merit. I like responding to the more lighthearted everyday things that happen to all of us.
