I'm just a newbie in MyLot and I'm seeing repeating questions. Questions that have been asked yesterday and will ask again today or maybe minutes later. Are you getting irritated if there are redundant questions?

Nope. The question you just asked is redundant as well. People who post the questions have different things to say or different views. They arent always completely identical so there could be different things to respond to in one question/topic. I don't get irritated. Questions can be asked in different days, time because I think there's a wide enough audience here for different people to respond (The ones who haven't seen the topic yet).

Yes, I'm aware that my question is redundant. I think there's different mylotters who are online the time the question was asked and then when it was asked again, it's another batch of mylotters who happen to read it.

Yep, precisely why it doesn't annoy me. People get online at different times and dont get to see everything thats being posted everyday.

Hmmm I actually just had this on my mind rofl... Yes, some questions can be asked in different ways, but I cannot tell you how many times I've seen , "What songs make you cry?"... "Do any songs make you cry?" and right on that line. To avoid redudancy, mylot *does* have a search feature

Dear pjrs, Perhaps this myLotters did not check it before posting a new discussion. Most of them, sometimes me too..will straight away start a topic when the idea came. After posting only we saw the related topic has been started a week ago. But I noticed that the question I post will received different type of response due to the way I put forward the topic. Somehow or rather I have different group of myLotters friends who have not response to the previous topic. It is sort of new topic to them. For my case, I I notice the same topic, which I already responded earlier, I may just skip. But there are some good point there too, I can always respond faster without thinking since I have thought it before...it kind of easir to response. Moreover I am at more than 500 post, I am able to do 'copy & paste' there. What I did was to copy from my previous response and need to edit accordingly as per the context of the current topic. It may be similar but not the same... Cheers :)

Hi, You just can not help this. Even when I was a newbie here I too marked this phenomenon but I adopted a different method. Whichever I know is a repeated topic in toto I would not respond that and life is going on the similar track since then. Just ignore or you would get irritated.

It may be a redundant question but it can't be a redundant discussion if there are no redundant comments. If there is no response to a redundant question, it doesn't make a redundant discussion. I think I was redundant on that. lol
