Please read the whole discussion, not just the title!

Recently I posted a discussion about the people who want to learn what I do online. The title read "Teach me how to earn money on line". The responses were mostly hilarious! They were telling me how to earn online in two to three sentences. If I could teach the people who ask me how, everyone would be doing it. If it were free and easy everyone would be doing it! So this was my standard answer for most of them; Did you actually read my entire post? I already make a great income! It's the people who know me that ask me the question I used for just the title! In the future please take the time to actually read the discussion!

To be frank...there was no connection between that "title & discussion".I think you wanted to test myloters and their relevance to your discussion.And moreover,you could start another discussion pointing out their irrelevance.It is right that the whole discussion should be read but at the same time you should not try to mislead people with your irrelevant titles.Try to maintain some relation between the two.People who just read the title,definitely need to be cautious hereafter and stop doing that to prevent being caught!HAPPY MYLOTTING!

Wow...far be it from me...to chastise some-one with the # of posts attributed to 2004cqui! In my experience here, about 4 years.. I find the title quite appropriate....and I see NOTHING misleading, seriously these comments are just a little shy of flaming! RAther than order some-one what to do..there is a pleasant manner in which you can purport your ideas..without suggesting that one's manner is misleading! Please, take care not to tread so heavily on other's toes!

To be perfectly frank-then why did only two out of eight read just the title? They were also the first to answer! They are also known for going in and blindly answer as fast as possible and answer to make what? A penny! They have no interest in the discussions they participate in, sometimes not making anything because they were off topic! These are the known facts.

Oh I saw your discussion but I couldn't understand what you were saying, lol, so I didn't respond. Sorry, but you didn't put many spaces between your paragraphs so I got confused trying to read it. However, I did get the gist of it. It does suck when people don't understand. I have to say, your title was a little misleading when I first saw it. I think many people saw that and were just rushing to post.

I didn't have any paragraphs. There wasn't any need for them. Yes, people rush to post something to make a penny!? No one is supposed to rush to answer just a title. That is against the mylot rules. Funny thing is there are responses that make sense in the discussion. The funny thing is the first off track response made me pretty sure I'd get a couple more so I copied and pasted my response to that one in anticipation of more coming in. Sure enough. That is also against mylot rules, I think.

Paragraphs would've made it look easier and more pleasant to read cause without spaces separating the text, the post looks like one big wall that's uninviting to read.

The title and first paragraph should be closely linked as from the two (title and the first paragraph) readers will know what's the writer trying to explain. Paragraph 2, 3 and so on are just explainatory. So, it's very important to set out your thought in paragraphs, I think.

Ahahaha! XD It's like hearing a song and immediately assuming that the first few words into it is the title! XXDD

Yeah, there are people who close their doors before even trying to understand. ^^ But there are also those who just don't bother with the lyrics like we do, ehehe! 'Cause I'm a person who's always particular with the lyrics. I even get attracted to a song by the lyrics alone (if they are really beautiful). :))

I always read the additional text that the creator of the discussion writes, not just the title. Actually I think the title of that discussion is a little misleading. I would have omitted the "teach me" part. It makes it sound as though you are the one saying that. Or I would have actually used the quotes in the title to make it sound like someone else who said it to me

I have come to the conclusion that even using quotes may not be my answer to erroneous comments! People would ignore those too! I've seen other discussions go awry for no particular reason! I'm not alone in the pack.

Hi, there. It seems that some of them you mentioned were busy making money by replying to you in a very short time. Therefore, they wouldn't squeeze in time to read carefully what you have really written. Money is important indeed, while communication and happiness could not be ignored, either. Wish you good luck.

why not? for now we must implement what we can, should not delay the time. although it is only with a few words and with a nominal that is not so much. but with patience and dicipline must have been sometime in the future something small it will turn into a big. believe in yourself.

I stand tall on this one! But I must say, that I have had my feather's ruffled for the same reason..OR for a response that embodies nothing of the discussion...or the responses posted, I think only for "pennies" when they say exactly the same thing as the box..just above them! I can truly say...I read an entire discussion before adding my "two cents" worth (and that's about all it's value here!)LOL!

I am hoping that you did not mis-understand my reply...I am NOT about the money...I was here for nearly 9 months when I asked my son why there was $$$ signs at the top of the page that kept changing...DUH! I am here, selfishly enjoying all the wonderful friends i have made around the world...their intelligence their input....and often, good-hearted banter about really..nothing! I have total respect for those, that make extra dollars on line...I am just not the person that can dedicate myself...and committ myself! Oh heck..I'm an outdoors person.

Nope! I didn't mis-understand you! I was agreeing with you! This whole discussion is worth printing out! I have learned a lot in the end! I think the whole thing is ridiculously funny now! (looking forward to reading your posts and comments in the future). I hope you have a great time going forward! Have a great day!

To me the penny I make from commenting is no where worth the experience I've had here in the last two years! There's stuff I'll talk about in here I wouldn't talk about to any friend, family, coworker or neighbor! It's hard to gossip in here!

At least you write in good English, I have problems with the ones that are learning English and the ones who think they know English and the tenses are all wrong along with the words. I know I try to discuss with relevant information or questions and not be redundant all the time. And to do that you have to read what is posted, and not just the person who starts the discussion. Like you, I've had some pretty off the wall responses to things. Thanks for the discussion! And my other issue, is editing what you intend to post and try not to have too many grammar errors in it. It gets confusing when the grammar is poor. Thanks for your enlightening discussion!

Isn't it funny all one has to do is mention money and people flock in for selfish reasons. It's fun to see just who has what intentions. Nice idea, bet the responses were outrageous!!

But reading takes time! Time that could be better spent making useless uninformative replies! Everyone loves useless posts! Seriously though, was it like, very very very clear from the main body of your post that you didn't want any advice from responders? Maybe some posters did try to read it but just failed at comprehending your post. I'm not saying I think that's what happened (since I do quite believe that most people are too lazy to read). I'm just saying it's a possibility that should be considered, since not everyone here is to speaking of English perfectingly.

Yes it was very very very clear in the main body that I was venting! But it was also a serious discussion start to find out if I'm the only one dealing with people who think making money online is easy and cheap. There were only a couple of comments that reflected they didn't know what I was talking about!

Didn't enter that discussion, as I took earn extra money off my interest list for a while. I can always put it back on but for now I am interested in discussions without agenda. It is a good idea though to read the discussions before commenting and everyone can do that one. Best wishes in the future for quality discussions but if we have a few funny ones I guess that is not too harmful.
