Help, I ran out of responses.

There is no way every response will see your comment unless you comment to them individually. There are members as myself that will revisit a discussion after sometime, after responding. But the likelihood that all responders will do this is rare. I would suggest that if you are having difficulty in responding without making your comments duplicate is that you give yourself sometime and revisit your discussion either a bit later or on another day. This may help you see things differently. I do not start many discussions but when I do I try to do so out of something that really interests me, this way I have a lot to say. I usually get anywhere between 40- 90 responses and that does not include the several interactions back and forth in a lot of boxes. I am able to keep up with the discussion and able to apply quality different comments. By not starting many I think this helps me. Maybe respond to others for a bit to see if that gives you ideas for other discussions later and this way you may have a great deal to say. Best of luck.

I'm a bit new to, but as far as I can see, just forget that you're typing and just imagine that you're talking to a group of friends, you wouldn't thank them for their input into the conversation would you? You can bring in other aspects of the subject into your responses, as long as it is relevant. I have been reading lots of comments and responses and that seems to me to be the way to go, unless any of you more experienced Myloters have better suggestions!

Personally when I am responding back in the discussions I have started I try to find something posted there in the responses that I can relate with, and then respond back from there. If I can't find something I just pass that person up instead.

Hello haopee and welcome to myLot. You seem to be getting the hang of things quite nicely...well done. Many times if you begin a topic responders will all agree with you, telling their own story perhaps or just agreeing and yes, it's hard to comment back when everyone is saying the same thing. I think this is why we are supposed to read all the responses before we add our own. I will not join a discussion when too many are saying pretty much what I had in mind to say. As for the short responses like, same here, me too, I agree with you I just give those a miss or if they are new I will welcome them and suggest they read the guidelines. What most people do when responding is to either share their own thoughts on your subject or else they share their experiences and so there you have a discussion. Some people are better at it all than others but you will eventually get the hang of it. I don't start many discussions because when I think it through, I realise I don't have much else to say on the subject other than what I put in the original post. You will eventually get to see how it all works. Best wishes to you.

I am relatively new to mylot also. And I have been in your situation. I have gotten many responses to a discussion that I have begun and some of the responses were so similar that I had trouble finding unique and different ways to comment. Sometimes you have to take a moment and think about the response. How has it helped you or clarified things? Remember that this is an ongoing discussion. If you were sitting with this person face to face, how would you comment on what they just said? It is good mylot etiquette to comment on every response if at all possible.

Hi haopee, cute username you got out there, that sounds good to me. You must not worry about it, you're right saying okay,thank you is a NO NO here in mylot. I also feel this sometimes when I ain't able to express my thanks to all the responses I got. But it's fine, mylotters will not be anxious if I haven't replied on them. Or better yet just relate to what they say. And you must express that whatever he'she said was right. Just don't take it as a major problem And if you won't reply on this respond, i won't feel bad for I knew you're thankful. Have a nice day haoopee!
