Commenting on those who respond to your discussion

Once a day is a good target. Keep up the good work. Thanks for your response.

Me too.....after that I go to to those that I have responded to see if the originator responded.....and if appropriate will add another comment even though it's for free. Thanks for yourinput.

We all have our own opinions....some agree with us some of us don't. I always like to hear another opinion. While most of the time I don't agree, there have been times when I can see another side of the story from a different angle. I try always to keep an open mind. Thanks for responding.

I agree wholeheardly. But somehow I get the feeling, looking at some of the discussion topics, that quantity is more important than quality. Thanks for responding.

You too, what? Thanks for response.

I wholeheartedly agree. I suffer from an uncurable disease (diahrrea of the fingers.....and the mouth) and just seem to be unable to stop once I get started. I try to write at least one sentence that perhaps relevant. If people can take an interest in my discussions they I feel an obligation to respond. It's only fair.

You get a best rating for that one. Congrats. Keep up the good work.

I know what you mean...I, too, have several that I go no response from. However, just the other day I answered a discussion from my friends list that had been made previously and I got a response to one of mine that I had submitted a few days before. By reponding to an old discussion it brings it to the discussions list again. Thanks for response.

Of course that it is your choice but you will find that it against the reason of the site. We should be here to raise questions or make statements that can be commented on. Then the person who starts the discussion can go back and agree or disagree with the response.....and courteously thank the responder for his input. Then the responder can go back and rebutt. Also anyone else to wants to respond to a comment made may due so and receive credit for one comment on a comment per discussion. I check all the responses to each of my discussions to see if something has been added to my response. Might I add, though, if you are here for the money only then in my opinion you are rude in that you are not following the spirit of the site. Thanks for dropping in.

Sometimes I add a comment and sometimes I don't because if another person has already covered the point, then I don't think that it is necessary for me to add anymore to it. :)

Ur right of course but I usually add something like....I couldn't have said it better or you hit the nail on the head or something else equally as stupid. Guess ur Christmas has come and gone so I hope you had a good one.

Good response. When you read the responses in others' discussions do you ever add your two cents to the responses? I always do if I think it is pertinent. Thanks for dropping in and thanks for your input.

Good show. When I comment on a discussion I check most of the previous entries to make sure I'm not grinding a good thing into the ground. I rate those I think worthy of a + and no rating if its just a one or two word comment. I rate all my discussions using the same criteria. If your comment hasn't received a rating then in my mind it didn't deserve it.

Another + rating. That's the best reason for responding I can think of. Keep up the good work. Thanks for responding.

That's fair enough at least you take the time to see what others are thinking. Saying thank you never hurt anyone it just shows good manners.

me too. even comments on comments on comments, etc.

I'm actually a little disappointed if some one doesn't acknowledge my response in some way or another. Even if it is just "Thank you" at least I know they read it.

That answer deserves more than a "thank you for response"...hehehe. You are right on all accounts. Means you have less time to answer others discussions somethings gotta give somewhere. Of course, if you don't write a book on each comment you respond to like I do then it's a snap. It's almost 10pm here so I'll say have a good evening.

Good thinking. When i get a one or two word response I usually ask a question to see if I can get them to extend on their response. Nice to see you again. Thanks

I'm not sure if I do or not get credit for it. To me it's beside the point. I just like to show those who have taken the time to respond that I read what they had to say and agree or disagree with them. Thanks for your response.

not on your comment but on comments of others who comment on another posting....One per posting.

You're so right. However I see that many of my discussion are passed over because it might take some thought, although I try to create discussions that might have some interest at all levels. Muito obrigado, beijinhos for you. I'm quite pleased with this one. It's the one that has received the most responses. Thanks for your response.

I like bantering with some of those who respond. I think it livens things up. I try not to offend anyone by doing this just like people to laff. We're here to have a good time and hopefully to learn something about people and what they think. They may not agree on some things but difference of opinions makes the world go round and certainly more interesting. Thanks for responding. PS: It's a good thing I'm a fast typer or I could never talk as much as I do and still have time to make comments on others discussions.

Another good for you. I hope your comments of their responses are more enlightening that this one and many others like it. Thanks for response.

Sometimes it's hard to think of smething that doesn't make us look stupid. But any comment might add something no matter how trivial....as long as it pertains to the discussion. Thanks for response.

How right you are. My sentiments exactly. Although I try to be courteous to those who respond for whatever reason. On those that have nothing to say I try to think of a question that might induce them to expound or retaliate. Thanks for your response.

I also rate the answers if they have something to day. However, I seldom give anyone a - answer. At least I know that they looked at my discussion and perhaps read some of the comments others made. If they learned anything from the comments then it's a point in their favor. Thanks for response.
