Responding, while reading all responses..

well it depend on the topic if the topic is like a question answer one then there is no need to write a similar response which already someone has posted, i just comment or just don't post in those (example how to do....?) but if the topic is not a question answer like, then i don't read the responses because everyone has there own views. I just post my views its entirely depends on topic so the rules that we must read all responses before commenting our own has flaws (not actually)

Yes,i do.I've taken it as a point to read all the responses and comments,atleast all the responses before i start with my response.. As Diana said above, (incase you want me to explain it, then i would-she was the one who guided me that way) "Comments may also contribute to our earnings." I try to comment when and where i could add some information or correct someone.I did try to correct one of those newbies who gave a wrong information in another discussion here a couple of days back and i leanrt it from all these super-members here. I think myLot guidelines says it all-reading the responses so could comment if that was the same idea you had,and making it a bit different if your way of thinking was already approaxhed by someone else.That's why we are supposed to read the responses.And there's no use in just repeating things which the other one had told before right? When so many responses are there in a a discussion- i would read them all.Incase you find your answer somewhere?That's better if you read it all.When my ideas are the same as others' have,then i keep that discussion aside for a few minutes to think about new ones-if i get,i respond,if i don't i just participate in commenting.As long as it is fun,i'm going to do anything.But the worst part of it is that we don't recieve notifiers for the comments that we get back for our comment! Alas-if we get those-we would have our Inboxes filled only with myLot mails then. Good day!

Sometimes,I respond to discussions at once.If the discussion is something to think about,then I'd read other discussions first before responding.

hi friend this depends upon discussion and if the discussion has more than 10 or 15 responses then i will not read and write my own views but if they have some responses then before i write my respond i read all response and if i found same response i will go to write then i write comment.

Yes, I always start from the top. Even just reading others' responses is fun and knowledgeable.

Hi, I mostly read all the discussions,until and unless i feel its enough... I spend time reading discussions rather than commenting on them.I enjoy reading other comments.But some discussions are really boring and lack interest.Then i switch to something interesting,or start my own discussion.Whatever,its fun being here in mylot....When there are a lot of responses to any discussion,i simply skip the discussion itself unless i find it tooo interesting...There are several occasions when i read simply the first page and went back seeing my opinion already posted...

I read the pther responses and often add comments to them while I am reading them. While reading the previous responses, it doesn't usually alter what I was going to respond and indeed sometimes it adds to it because I see some opinion that I had not thought of. Reading through the previous responses can often cause a laught too because many times the responses are irrelevant and it is obvious that the user only read the title, which sometimes has little of nothing to do with the topic. Commenting earns for us too so adding somments to the responses is worthwhile if you are concerned about earning.

Hi shskumbla, I'd be honest I don't read others repond sometimes because I respond a discussion in my own opinion. I have seen some other member here that they respond to a discussion with same others responses and other are just responding just to earn from it. If the discussion has 50 responds means the topic is really interesting, in that case I don't read the whole 50 responds from the topic but what I do is respond in my own opinion/experience

I do follow the rules but rarely I can't do that anymore more I have limited access on mylot.

If I am in the middle of post-speeding, and have no mood to comment to another responses, usually I'll just read the first three responses and start to write my own response.. Unless the discussion is super interesting, usually I don't bother to read every responses if it reached 3 pages of responses Reading all responses might be good so we might be able to add something new. But if a discussion is about opinion, I think it would be just fine if there are some similar opinions. Mylot doesn't pay me for reading, though

Hello SHS,i do not read all the responses and then comment..it is good to respond without looking it..because if we look at those comments,we will sometimes change our responses..this is not what we want..we want the real opinion of that person..reading it will ruin it and that person will again respond some other opinion..we are making discussion because we want the real opinion of that person..Am i right??

I am guilty of this too sometimes especially there are too many comments already. But I know the rules is you have to read the comments from others to avoid writing the same ideas.

i dont usually reply to all of the responses especially when there are too many. but that doesnt mean that i dont read and consider the responses. their comments really help me actually, so its important to read them.

Well, sometimes i actually read the whole comments people post if the topics is interesting to me even though the number of reply is like 30-50. I even read the comments on the reply. But sometimes, if the reply is not interesting enough, i would just fast read (like read the whole thing, not by reading each words and sentences). I would also sometimes skip most of the comments but still ready 1 or 2 comments on each pages if there are a lot of comments made to actually understand what people are talking about after the long conversation made for like 10- 30 pages long.

Hello Shskumbla, It all depends on the number of responses and the topic of discussion. If there is too much responses then it is difficult for me to read all those. If the topic is on general one then I can post my opinion freely. If the topic is on any doubts or such kind then I must read other responses to find out whether the query is solved or not. I am well aware about the mylot guideline, to read all responses before writing our reply, is it just to avoid the repetition.

Thats why I really-really rare to respond to a discussion that too long.

For me, I just want to raise my point of views here. I am sure, no one will be the same as mine because I have not read their responses yet. Similar to your discussion, I just wrote what I had in my mind. This is solely my personal views and no one can be the same. But certain discussions, I shall glance through most of the responses to get an idea to start or before I can understand the topic further. Politely speaking, we shall read through all of the responses before we start our part.

Sometime I do read all comments and then response, but sometime I don't. It depends on my mood when surfing on mylot...lol. However, i often read carefully the topics and then type my responses. How we can read all comments of a topic if there are more than 30 comments, instance? it takes much time...then we can ignore reading all, just give out our opinion, and i sure that everyone will have their own opinion...^^

I have read the guidelines.Mylot expects us to read all the responses to a discussion before responding to it.But my problem is,I lack time.Within a short span of time I have to respond to as many discussions as I can.If I read all responses,then it would not be possible for me to be more active in the site that I want to be.So I have decided to adopt the middle path.I read some five or nine responses depending on the time at my disposal and then begin typing my own response.

ya that's correct but in some time we unable to read all response because some were written more than 100 words so what to do in this time??
