Responding to a discussion.

When i'm interested in a discussion, i go through all the responses for me to think of a unique one.

Hi ramesh, It is impossible to go through all the responses for each and every discussion you want to respond to ! I may read some responses given by my friends just out of curiosity, other than that I just read the discussion and give my views on the subject ! Sometimes some responses may be interesting and may catch ,my eye and I do respond to some comments made by other members most of the time by friends and other members known to me...all the best and have a nice evening

I rarely read other people's responses. I don't have the time.

Sometimes I read them and sometimes I browse at them. But I will not read 40 answers so I don´t usually step in those discussions, unless they are made by friends. And about commenting on other responses, it is also spmething that I do sometimes, when I´m interested in giving my opinion. Take care!

When I find a discussion that draws my attention, I read the main question first then I start to read the responses. If I find out that my ideas were already written by other users, I quit responding the discussion. I don't think it's a pleasure for the discussions starter to read the same response again and again. But if I think I have something new to add after I read all the responses, I write a response. Sometimes I feel the need to comment on others responses, and I do this quite often. After all, reading all the responses is a myLot rule written as a don't in the discussion guidelines: "Don't respond to a discussion until you've read all of the responses." http://www.mylot.com/o/guidelines.aspx

not at all.. discussion must be logic..

I used to do that! To go through previous reponses. But I found that it sometimes clouds my own response. I could get many ideas from the previous responders that the thing I originally wanted to say, gets lost in shuffle. So, I don't anymore. I just go direct and write what I mean. And sometimes even mean what I write!

Hi ramesshkumaar57, Sometimes I do both ways. There are times I write right away to answer the question without looking at the responses and see how I compare and other times I do read but it does not presuade me write any differntly than what I had planned to write. Thanks and have a great weekend Sincerley Unique16

I don't want others' ideas to influence my ideas so I sometimes go straight to posting my response. I would read others' responses sometimes when the discussion is a bit sensitive. But most of the time I read the discussion thoroughly and post my response respectively.

When I met an interesting question,I will answer it directly. responding my post,I will go though most of them,and then I will answer the most one.

The first thing is I see the home page and top discussions.I post a response to the discussion if it is really interesting and if I can add something to the discussion and to put across my point of view straight. I feel like I should enjoy typing the response,this comes when you are interested in the discussion and you have something to say. Cheers

Sometimes I just answer the topic directly especially when the responses are lengthy. I don't have much time to look at other peoples' responses. However, If I get the chance to browse through it, I also comment on the others especially if I agree or disagree with the comment.

I usually go right to the responding to the discussion, then I might read through the other comments and such after Ive posted a reply...if some are good I even give em a rating :P

I read all discussions or comments. You'll never know whats interesting until you read what other people have to say.

Yes I through all the comment, because my english very bad If I just read the discuss I will very difficult to understand the meaning of what its taking about. so i must go though all the comment and find some useful massage and know the discussion clearly then i can answer the question or some time pass by. its very wast of time but I must learn the words that I never met before. I hope one day I can read every thing just by the title and the discussion can answer most of discussing easily.
