Four years of best responses

I guess I was just bored because I spend a good hour going through all my unresolved discussions to pick best responses. I haven't done that in a long time. I usually don't even pay much attention to it. So some of you may wonder why you're getting best responses from four years ago. I'm the ultimate procrastinator.

Don't feel bad, I'm right up there with you when it comes to procrastinating! You've reminded me that I'd better get busy on my unresolved discussions. I have no doubt some of mine go back several years as well. Annie

Haha. That is funny. You went all the way through four years? That must have been quite a lot! I hardly ever use that feature either. Hm.. Maybe I should, or else I'll end up with four years worth of them to pick!

It was a couple of pages but didn't seem like a whole lot. I hardly used it before either.

I doubt it. It's not like you get any more money for a best response although that would really be nice.

Ah, yes, thinking about it. Most of us probably respond to more discussions than we actually start, so it might not actually be that many. Is there any purpose in using it other than making someone feel good for making a good contribution? Hm, that sounds bad put that way. I mean, does MyLot use it for any other purpose other to monitor who is making above average posts?

Personally I have a lot of unresolved discussions as well. I think sometimes you go thru the responses back on some of the discussions and if you are like me sometimes you cannot just find a post back that is worthy of getting a Best response or then at other times you get so busy it is hard to keep up with some of them as well. But I know that I have given out Best Responses from time to time on some of my older discussions and it can be a shocker maybe to some as well. But anytime I guess is a Good time so at least we are doing it as well.

Yes and a lot of times there was only one response so it's obvious who got the best response.

I do my best to keep up with them because it can get a bit out of hand. On the flip side to that I do not start too many discussions so not too difficult for me. However I am one who does get on an average 50 -75 responses to all my discussions so it can be a bit of effort going back and re-reading them to keep up. By the way thanks so my I received a few by you today!

I don't start nearly as many discussion as I reply and I don't get a lot of responses to discussions so I guess that's why it wasn't that time consuming I just haven't done it in years

http://www.mylot.com/o/faq/faq8.aspx#16 What is a Best Response? A best response is a response that is chosen by the myLot member that started a discussion and feels the response that was provided is the best response to their topic of discussion. * A best response feature should be utilized by all myLot members. Please help other myLot users know that their responses are useful and helpful. You don't have to it's not mandatory. You don't get any more money for it.
