I found a discussion here on myLot.
It was posted by a new member.
So far nothing special.
But it had only one comment(from another new member)
I write from memory
"I do not know the answer to your question,but after an hour you have no answer.
I had thought to write something,because I know how bad it can feel a person ,here on myLot,when not receive any comments on topic posted"
For me,this is the most sensible and delicate comment, I have read here on myLot
What do you think?

It is a very delicate comment, and I think that this new member has found a niche. When he will reach 500 posts, he will be able to copy paste his response to hundreds of forgotten discussion with just a little change "I do not know the answer to your question, but after four years you have..."
I think a member can give easily a thousand sensible and delicate responses like this one in a day. Has he a patent for this method or can I take one ?

i think instead the commenter wrote this kind of comment, how about answering the post. it seems impossible to say that you don't know the answer, or if you really don't know the answer, then just say it in other ways like "i have not experience that but...." or "i have no knowledge of the .... so..."
personally, i don't want to receive comment telling me that i comment because i pity you. :-P

as the poster of that discussion, if I were that newbie, I would find
that a bit sarcastic telling me oh poor you, you just cannot write a good
discussion yet, I would have been more impressed had this sensitive newcomer actually gave a shot at answering the question of the other newbit, that would have been at least a college try.

I don't think the comment can be considered as sensible. It is actually sarcastically rude.
For me, I never feel bad if I will receive a zero comment with my discussion. I don't set it in my mind that members would be interested with my discussion. Besides, expecting much will be more bad when your expectations is not met. If I see a discussion which has no comment and not that interesting at all, I will not write a comment which is out of the topic or comment for pity.
Every member here go through that kind of situation. Sometimes, your discussion will not receive any comment. I will not feel bad. That is the way it is, so accept it. Hence, it is a realization that you need to write a more sensible discussion.

hello cip,
that's why it's very important to think of the discussion carefully and not start barraging with tons of topics that are either boring or had been made already. who ever the whiner of that discussion, person didn't give a damn about the comment either, which is sensible and indeed delicable, i agree with you. probably the most logical comment i have heard

I would surely say that it is the most sensible and believe me I go hunting for posts that do not have any responses because I know how it feels when you don't get a response. (it hurts ). So I make it a point to answer some which I can that is but then the thing is that sometimes the discussion gets deleted by admin.

hi cip that is certainly a very kind and thinking newcomer but wondering
why this person did not try to dredge something out of her mind to
show she understood the newcomer's discussion?. I mean surely more people in these modern days know at least a modicum of knowledge about most topics posted here. So many people here cop out because they think their response would not be good enough, when most of us are just ordinary people with very ordinary problems that do not take a brain surgeon to answer.

hi I see yes that might pose problems as so many do not believe, thats sad but we all have our own view points and must respect each other, so that may have been hard for the other new one to answer.

Sometimes I don't get any answer for hours. I don't mind it much. So people did not find my topic interesting enough to answer it. Or maybe they just didn't know what to say. It doesn't matter to me. I just post what I really want to discuss with people. If someone wants to discuss it with me, then that's great, but if no one wants to, it's okay too. People have different interests, so I can't expect them to be interested in things I'm interested in.

I can agree with you that it is really a sensible one.
But one hour is not enough to consider one posts as no response.
Some topics takes a day before getting responses.
It is becoz,posting a topic depend on time variation of mylotters.
Also,the right words to attract mylotters is one good way of having lot of responses.
I felt the gesture,the responder is too way considerate with the topic header.
Nice one.
Have a good weekend

I think its ok if you don't receive any response.I have two to three discussions which has no responses. Its completely readers choice to answer or no to. See ur discussions is carrying so many responses even though it carries no particular interest or subject.
