Will you follow my new way of responses?

Hi Fanta ! Your first idea looks brighter to me. Searching for the topic of your choice would definately give you an idea whether any such discussion exists or not? I have not tried this method earlier but now I intend to try. However, there is always a risk in responding to very old discussions as the host the discussion may not be active presently and consequently, we may not receive any comments on our responses. Nonehtless, if you do not care for comments, you could go ahead with your methods. All the best.

Well I do respond on old discussions too if I found it interesting. But I have not actually did research for more. But whenever I like to start a new discussion, I would search for it now before I add it. If I find a similar one then I would just respond on it and forget making one. However, if the thought that I will write is not the same as the old one then I would continue on making my own discussion.

HI fanta! Same like you, me too do the same way. I have been doing it long ago. Even if the current discussions are many waiting to be replied in m emails but I don't mind. SOmetimes I dig some old discussions and make sure its my favorite subject and post some comments there. SOme members who gave comments might still in here and some may inactive, they may reply back to us and some may not. I really surprised whenever ai get reply from them as you said there are all really old discussions. But still don;t mind as long as it still a current issues I will comment it and others' replies. Sometimes I feel that the old discussions are much fun to reply than the latest. There are some unusual topic that we might don't even think of it~(^^)(^^)

I think, i have to copy that way of yours fantabulous. It seems that the new discussions are not to my interests.

It is nice that you've shared what you know. I'm gonna try it. Maybe I'll like it too.

I will respond to old discussions if I feel I have something to contribute to the conversation. I think that is a great way to find topics that you might be interested in, and then respond to them. I usually don't search topics, thanks for sharing that idea.

It does add variety I am sure. Other than that I am not sure why you are doing it. In many cases the original author may no longer be around. Nothing wrong with some creative approaches. I am sure there are some quite interesting discussions you might stir up again.

hi fanta yes I do a lot like you, if it interests me and yet itws a couple of years old I do not mind as I will enjoy responding and hopefully the user like me may still be here. I love it when one or two or three of my old discussions come up on top and someone has responded. I go and quickly comment back as its so much fun to see my old discussion still meaning something to someone enough for them to respond to it. love it. lots of fun

I dont say fanta that i never follow old discussion but i concentrate more on latest discussion because the comment back rarely can get in case of old discussion and the interaction does not happen. Most starters of 6,7 year old discussions are no more in mylot to comment back. Have a nice time.

7 yrs old? Where did you find those discussion/s? The oldest discussion so far that I've encountered is 5 years- going to years now.

I haven' tried those method, but I would like to try, because I didn't want to spend my time to respond to an old discussion. I used to respond to each discussing without noticing if the discussion was ever responded to or not? To be honest, I like responding all no matter what.

Congratulations, I am glad to hear that you have discovered new ways to search for discussions. Honestly I really didn't think about that, but having you mention it sounds like a great idea, I will definitely have to try that out. Normally what I do is just keep all my e-mails when I am notified about new discussions and/or comments. Save those on a personal file until i get a chance to get to them.

Wish I had more time to spend here... I missed some discussions and later I have to keep up with everything.I'm glad you have fun being here. I miss you so much and I'm very sorry for delays. I try my best.

hi fanta, i always search before posting/ starting a new to find out how many similar subjects are there. But i have not commented to those which is more than a year. I search for discussions from my interest and then place my comments on them.
