When i was new here, I tend to pass my 1st discussion without leaving a comment at all. Until a friend encouraged me that i should! Its our RESPONSIBILITY upon posting a discussion, and just one way of APPRECIATING users who have responded.
On my 2nd, 3rd, 4th...7th post, I tend to leave "some" comments on those people who respond. Which means that I'm not commenting on ALL of them.
I should not be picky when I am doing that. So from now on, I'll go back to my discussions and leave comments on it, though its late. But I still see so many people who do not do that.
What about you?
Do you always go back to your discussions and leave a comment?
Do you comment on the comments?
If not, why?

I start very few discussions but I always comment back, and more than once if the user comes back, to all of those who respond. It is not a dicussion if I don't.
We also do not earn for the responses by others, they do. Therefore if we start a discussion and want it to earn for us then we must commenr, with quality comments (one line is nowhere near enough).
This is not a question and answer site. MyLot tell us that we earn for engaging others in discussions and when we do that we see our earnings increase. Those who don't willnot only see small earnings but will gradually see fewer and fewer usaers responding on their discussions.

I comment back too but not to all of them, especially to those responders who just respond for the sake of responding and not answering question/s about the topic and pretty much, only gives their irrelevant response. But I'd go back to my previous discussions and comment back to the comments.
I wish most people will keep in mind what you have stated. I don't really know what they are after of. There are people who keep on posting and posting, but never leave comments on responders. I may not be perfect but I always leave a thank you message whenever I was chosen as "best response". Some people can't do that. And that is really sad

Too many users seem to think that if they post lots of discussions then they will earn more. Maybe they think that if their number is not increasing (and it doesn't when we comment) then they are not earning. That is NOT the case at all. We are paid for everything we type, wherever we type it and therefore for commenting too.
I am all over the place every day whenever I see something interesting and If I leave a response and the original poster, or anyone else for that matter, stops off to comment on it then I go back and comment there too. I wouldn't ignore someone who speaks to me offline and it's the same here. I guess we are all different and many have not yet got the hang of what 'discussing' really means sadly.
Don't let what others do stop you from doing what you want to do though

hi diana I think thats the beauty of mylot as long as we do not
break rules we can comment or not on anything we wish to.I get a charge out of commenting back on some as its like having a conversation over the backyard fence. I try hard not to offend when I comment on a comment but some people seem to think that nobody has a right to comment on comments on their particular discussion and I guess they do not realize we can comment anywhere we choose as long as we are not being mean and insulting or breaking any mylot rules. I love to get comments on comments on my own discussions.

I have always gone back and responded back in the 4 years I have been here
It is also manners to respond back
I will not respond back where you get someone just saying ok or how nice or anything silly
There are still many here that do not respond back and yes it is very annoying but most the time those are the ones that just want to earn and do not care

I at times take time to respond back Sweetie but we respond back and that is what counts so please do not feel attacked love you and big hugs
Yen please do not take offence at my Friend here, she has been picked on here at mylot in the past she is the sweetest Person, So please try to understand her

Why do you need to be irk with my discussion?
I know you know your responsibilities since you've been here for such a long time. And I'm not competing with that at all.
I do not pin point to anyone when I made this post.
Then if this discussion irritates you or something like that, then I guess you should not commenting here anyway.

yan_blue8 yes I do go back and comment but let me say something
here as everyone seems to be at us to comment no matter what the reason is that we could not do so right away.we all have lives outside mylot.even me retired, I am supposed to try to get to the programs that are offered here and I do make an effort so I cannot mylot when I am away from my computer.I wish people would ease up on fussing about us making comments and give most of us credit for doing them as fast as we have time for while taking care of families and jobs too.I realize full well all the efforts that went in to making responses to my discussions and am doing my very best to respond as quickly as I can and still led some sort of life outside mylot. a note to you why do you comment on some and not others? that is being discriminating and unkind to those whom you do not chose to comment to.

I don't think for one minute that Yan_blue is refering to users like you and me and many others but to those who never, ever get back and comment. Those that think that just posting a question and then receiving responses is what myLot is all about
Yan-blue may seem to be new but I am aware of her presence here and that she has noticed who does what and that is why I am certain that she is not pointing a finger at you at all

Hi Hatley!
I really appreciate your input for my discussion and I love to see you commenting on some of the responses. I don't see any problem with that at all
I'm sorry if this discussion offend you or something, but I just want to know what I am asking in this discussion and that's all.
I was answering on some responders only because i was not that responsible yet before i started this discussion. I don't think its discriminating or unkind though since I DID go back at them and leave my comments, though its LATE!

Hi yan_blue, I comment back to everyone unless by chance I miss a late comment. I personally don't like the style of some who only comment to certain posts they receive and if for some reason I go back into a discussion and see that I've been ignored but others have been responded to I don't respond to that poster again. I simply believe that it is good manners to comment back to everyone who takes the effort to respond. I do find it irritatiting though when comments come in last minute from the digest thingy in a slew of one liners.
If the comments are interesting I comment on the comments too, simple interaction.

Hi again just want to say I too really dislike it when someone just says one word like thanks or great, or did not understand. or uses one stingy line to say thanks, and just stretch it out for one little line. no fair.

I only choose some response on my discussions to comment before i create this new discussion. I accept, I am not being responsible for doing so. And at times, I don't know what to say. Lol!
I go back to them and give my comments now, though late. I also don't like it when someone leave one liner thingy and comments like great or something like that.

I don't start all that many discussion, but the ones I do start, I will comment back to any responses that I receive. It lets them know that at least I took the time to read their response and commented on it. I feel if I want to get paid, that is what I need to do anyway. I have sen there are some that don't comment back to responses, and there could be many reasons as to why I suppose, but I think they should take the time to at least try to comment back if at all possible. I just feel it is a responsiblity to do so, and as far as I am concerned, I won't start a discussion unless I can comment back to teh responses. Good luck to ou and happy mylotting.

come on its not an attitude on posting with a lot of people it is simply that they are really doing the best they can and they will comment on the responses to their discussions as soon as they can get to it. there are things in life besides mylot and people do have to tend to these so do not fuss at them. they know their responsibility without being told by relative new comers.

I know. They are doing the best they can to comment on their responses. And they have a "real" life besides mylot. I'm not trying to fuss at them or anything. That's why the title says "Though its late, go back and comment".
I was not not saying to comment right away or after a few seconds after someone respond to a discussion. I knew I'm new here compared to you. And I 'm learning my responsibilities.

I like commenting to people who respond to my discussions and i always will go back on it to see if they comment back. But usually, it seldom happens. I know they have their reasons. So probably, they can have time to see this discussion and change their attitude on posting
Thanks for commenting. Have a great day!

Its good that you are learning about it too. When I was new here, I am not able to do all of that. But I have learned that commenting on your responses will also give you more earnings. Just post quality ones and with longer lines.
I am certain with that. :D
Thanks for the response here aakkii!
