It seems so hard to start a discussion for me. It's always been easier for me to respond to a discussion. Lately, there are so many discussions that I wish I could answer but it sure is hard to catch up. Nevertheless, I still try to answer whatever I can. But to start one? That will even take a longer time.

i also find it hard to start discussions that's why i tend to just answer them instead,i've noticed lately though that i even struggle to answer as unless the first couple of sentences grab me,maybe i should stop being so picky and just answer all the mylot emails i get

Honestly, I don't based all mylot discussions as to the emails I receive. The emails we receive are the discussions our friends started, the responses and comments we receive and of course, mylot digest.
Mostly, I would comment on the responses I receive from the discussions I started which I deem polite. But that is hardly as I rarely start one. Then I would check discussions on my interests because I think i can relate to that more and thus, have something to say. After which, I would check on my friends' discussion to check if I can respond to one. I guess, just like you, I can not just keep on posting for the sake of posting.

I must say it's better to be a starter, because with out them there are no discussion, but i prefer to be a responder, for me it's hard to start somthing you dont know who will response, thier are two ways to response positive and negative, mostly negative, you'll just filt bad about it.

I'm a responder myself but was able to start a few discussions, too. Please don't feel that people will respond negatively to you. There are a lot of polite members in mylot. I think I've read some people complaining about how rude some people can get. But I think there are more polite people than rude ones in mylot. There are also a lot of members who are always willing to assist others. There are even members who can only always say nice words. If I base it on your rating, you are new in mylot. Please try to explore the probabilities and you will be surprise how some people can be so accomodating at mylot.

I'm much more often a responder than a starter. Well, there are no much interesting topic come up to me. I've started a few discussions here, only not to hot.
I don't spend much time at myLot, so usually I just look some discussions and try to give a respond if I can.

I respond to more discussions than I start any. I find it very hard to come up with a good topic to discuss, so I would rather respond as I don't have to think about what to discuss as the discussion is already there. I have started some however, and they have responses, but not as many as I would like, but that is okay, as I realize that I just didn't make them interesting enough. I will probably start more discussions in the future, as I think of topics that others would be interested in responding to. Good luck to you and happy mylotting.

I am a responder in mylot. I find it very hard to write and start discussions because I dont like to think about new topics to discuss about but I would rather respond because it is just as easy as answering questions and sharing your own idea about a topic.

I usually tend to be more of a responder than a starter here. Most often by searching the discussions list I can find the info or topic I am looking for. There are many good discussion threads if a few searches are made.
When I am not able to find a topic or the information needed then I will post a topic. I don't feel that starting topics for every little thing is necessary, as once the topic drops off the page it tends to die out.

I respond to more discussions than I start because I don't have a lot that I want to discuss. I hit this site off and on throughout the day so my time is limited and I have found that I enjoy reading the discussions that other members start more than I do starting my own.

I would say that I am both pretty even. I enjoy starting discussions just with random questions that pop into my head and things like that but I also like replying to other peoples post who ask interesting questions to.I think if you look on mine and most people's profiles you see that they mostly respond. I pay attention to things like that when I go to someone's profile. Anyways yea I like to do both.

it's all relative you know? If I have something at my mind that I really want to share I just open a new thread.
But most of the times I hang out with friends at a comment box and chat all day lol

I do a bit of both, depending on how creative I am at the moment. But I respond more than I start new discussions, for sure.

I'm not a successfull starter of new discussion in myLot. I haven't started too many discussions until now, and that's because I don't have many ideas of interesting discussions. I do start discussions when I have something to ask or share with the friends I have here, but this hapends seldom.
I saw some users that start few discussions dayly and I keep wondering where do their ideas come from? Why aren't we able to come with new ideas of interesting discussions?

I think rather than starting a discussion, responding a particular ongoing discussion is pretty easier. Because if you have thoughts on a particular topic being discussed, you can always add to the discussion. Although I am more of a responder but i do initiate discussions at times , when any query or any good thought comes to my mind.
