How about coming first?

Hi deepak, Nice to know that you would like to come first but the method you adopting won’t help you to come first (I know you are responding according the notification). Coming the topic in home page first and it take some time to reach our mail box. Those people are searching in home page may respond immediately. This is the reason for missing the first number. I don’t bother about the first number and I am happy with the space wherever I get it(lol)

Oh yes, Deepak, that’s the child in us, evergreen ever excited and ever bursting with energy and enthusiasm (whew! ) LOL the excitement at being the first one to reply or the disappointment at being beaten to it just by a few seconds reminds us that its good to let that child out as often as possible…if nothing else, it at least it provides an opportunity to have a hearty laugh (but just see, if I have to write such a serious answer, I’ll be beaten again and again….so next time, I’ll just nod my head OK)

Heeheeee.. I don't mind where I come, first or last, the important thing is that I can come somewhere There is one type of discussion that I do try and answer first - the ones by users asking for information about MyLot. To avoid them receiving misleading info from others who have not read the Guidelines or the FAQs, I try and get there as soon as I can. Other times I wait because I want to be #11 This happens when I have a different opinion from the user who startted the discussion and I do not wish to bias the first responders so I wait and go on page 2. I have done that on purpose quite often. However apart from those rwo examples I do not have preferences and I just try and get to as many discussions as I can, by friends and those who are not yet on my list but might even be completely new users. I do try and help those who are trying to find their 'slot' here and help them reach a certain number of posts by spurring them on but even then I have no preference as to when I respond. Long live the humble ******

Hello my friend dpk262006 Ji, I would only respond you by expressing my personnel feelings that one should keep account for all thos eub-responded discussions , started by friends and tehn only one can judge if same wasfirst, second,third and so on. Wishing you a very happy Chrismas and New Year-2010. May God bless You and have a great time.

Sometimes I like to be the first responder, too, just because.. you know the person starting the discussion actually reads it! lol. When I respond to a discussion with 60+ responses to it already, I almost expect that no one in their right mind would read it - just because they have so much to read already. I like creating impact with what I write on here, and I feel like our answers get lost in the mix when we respond to discussions after about.. the 30th response or so. *shrugs*. So I like to be in the top 10, at least, but it doesn't always work out like that, of course!

Hi Deepak. It is nice to be the first respondent, yes? It's rather like putting the first footprints in a newly fallen snow. And true, more people tend to read the first responses than to go through many pages of them, reading all :)) Karen

I just feel exited if I stumble upon a good interesting discussion.That is my main concern here.It so happens at times that I become the first one to respond to a discussion started by my fellow Mylotters or my friends.It doesn't give me and extra excitement at all.I just car to give the appropriate response worthy of the discussion.

i also like to be number one but in a friends discussion i wouldnot mind being number two but sometimes it so happens that i am not even on first page but even then i respond if it is a friends discussion.

I do not aspire for this particularly Deepak! I would just look at the discussions started by friends and if it happens that I am the first then it just happens. On the other hand I get really thrilled when I get a BR, because I feel that I have done some good work not only to my satisfaction but also to another person's.

I am rarely the first to respond unless I hit the ‘no responses’ tab because I reply to my friends’ notifications first and, because I’m in Australia, by the time I get a lot of them there already have been several responses. I don’t really mind because I never thought about the thrill of being number one. I can appreciate that it would be a little buzz to be the first to contribute to a discussion but alas...Because I’m ‘down under’ I am bound to be late for everything but the important thing is that I will get there eventually!

I have not visited the no response pages in a while so it is not often that I am the first to respond to a discussion. Sometimes though, I am the only one to respond.

Hi, Lovely question! I think each and every individual wants to be the first one to acquire a particular experience or object. Whether it be here as in responding first or getting an opportunity to be the first to do something (anything) in life,we always feel nice to be the initiator. Have a great day!

Dear Dpk, I must type very fast in order to be number responder here. I hope I can race against time. It is really make me excited to be the first responder. We just type out our ideas and views pertaining to the topic under discussion. If we are not the first responder, that means I need to read the earlier response so that I don't repeat the same points again which already been mentioned by earlier responder. However, at time I do missed the 'bus' and ended up being no. 2 and at times no. 5...LOL

What a question! Very interesting.Hello, my dear.:-) I ALWAYS want to be number one.LOL. But if referring to posting my response to every discussion, I really don't mind if I'm on top of the list.Honestly, I want to read what others has to say, if we have the same point of views.Sometimes,I'm reading all the responses that appeal to me before posting my own. Not to copy any of them but to add(if there's anything to add) to a particular response that is similar to mine. Besides, I don't have that much time to keep track of all the discussions being posted by my friends. To lessen my "heartaches", I refrain myself from that mindset.:-) Have a great day, Deepak. :-)

It used to be said by members of this site that being the first responder meant you made more money, or meant that the discussion owner made more money. I used to strive to be the first responder, but am just happy responding now. I do wish that the discussion owner would respond to my discussion, but I know that it can be hard work. There's so many people I still need to respond to, and I keep saying If I could respond to everyone I'd surely have a hefty sum of money for this month!

I would certainly love to be the first to respond to friends' discussions but often times i am not. It sure does feel a lot better to see your response being the very first . Although, i think there is not much difference whether you were first to respond or the last, as long as you have participated on the discussion, i think that is what counts most. Nice to see you again, dear friend!

Well, in a way your view that being the first respondent to a discussion helps is right. However, it also depends upon how interesting that discussion is, and also how many other people check that discussion. So, I am also not too much excited about being the first one to respond to a discussion.

Hi deepak Some times my response appears first, and some times not. But I do not give much attention for this. We have to respond to our friends. That is all and i am satisfied to see my response reached the proper place. For new mylotters, i will send my friend request, and happy to see my avatar in the first place in their friends list

How different we are? You are like that kid that wants to be all over the place. I want to read thru a couple of opinions and then mull over it, and then give my opinion. I have to kind of ask myself is this how I think, is this what is right and so on. Therefore, it helps to read a few responses before offering my opinion.

Hi,dpk,really i tried many times to be the number one respondent for the discussions posted by friends...but because i am weak in typing,i lost that chance many times..even though i start atleast 1 minute before than others,but when i finishes the tying,i will be the second one.. I am trying to improve my typing seed,all the best and have a nice time.
