You see I have been away from mylot for a few months and my email is flooded with mails from mylot from discussions made by friends. Now, I am trying to read all those discussions and try to see if I have something to share or something to say to. I click on respond to this discussion once I have something to say, when it opens to mylot, it says the discussion is no longer available. Wow, it actually did saved me time and effort for responding to a discussion that has a possibility of being deleted. If I were on time in responding to it, it would all be a waste.
Did you ever find it advantageous to be late here on any other circumstances?

Well, I find advantage of being late when the person I am supposed to meet with is also late or much later than me It saves time of waiting

I really like going to meetings late when the person I am meeting is always late. I really hate waiting, it seem's you are like you are stupidly waiting for something that will never come. And your eyes are tired from looking at the passers by just to keep you busy.
The avatar's my baby..hehe. It's a gift from my bf last valentine's. Thanks

yeah, but it is a habit we should not be doing right? it is understandable to be late sometimes, but don't you hate it when you are always meeting with a person who is always late?

Once I was late to my collage around 30 minutes late. I am too lucky for getting late. During those time my teacher asked the students a lot of questions regarding the topics which she had took in the previous days. Almost all of the couldn't answer the question and the teacher asked them to write them imposition around 10 times. I am too lucky and I didn't want to write them becuase my teacher did not ask me any question otherwise she will also make me to write it.

yes, in school. you come on time, you'll end up sitting in front, waiting for professor and sleepy for a discussion.
but if you come late, lessons had started, exams are prepared and you have spent more hours on sleeping

I have been absent from mylot for some time. And when I came back, my interest in responding to other threads just sparked. I guess, it's nice to take a break once in awhile. As for being a little late, yes, there'd certainly be instances that I feel unsolicited joy simply by knowing I don't need to respond anymore.

I didn't take a long break here, I was just so busy offline and forgot to be here. Although, I make it a point that I always come online once in awhile in a month. Saved us time and effort right if we come here late and respond, but there are really some good discussions that are already closed, so that will be a disadvantage anymore.

many a times i have find advantages of being late in different circumstances.There was a company coming to our college during our placement season when i was doing MBA,That time We were supposed to report to the college at sharp 9.30 am in the morning.but that day somehow i became late for 3 hours as i woke up at 11 am and found that my battery for alarm clock was finished the day before only ,so the alarm did not ring in the morning.I was a bit upset that i may have missed the interview and the placement process of the company, but as i reached college i found that the company people have still not arrived at our college and most of the students left the college waiting for 3 hours considering the company would not turn up, i went inside the hall and sit there for a while and soon the company people arrived and since there were few students , so i did not have to face a tough competition in getting selected.ha ha !
so this is one advantage i got in my life of being so late ! ;)

Hi gaiza!
Its great but you aren't oblige to respond to the mail from mylot.
I just sign in to mylot and respond to that discussion whatever i likes though they aren't in my friend list instead of responding to the mail that i received from mylot related to my friends.

I know I am not obliged .
Those are the discussions from my friends here. And I read them first, if I am able to say or share something, then that is the only time I respond. If I can't share anything, then I delete it or just read it and the comments. Reading it allows me to learn something even if I don't have anything to say to to that discussion.

Oh yes, that is the one advantage of being late since you know already which discussions are going to be deleted and you won't be able to answer those. I get tons of notifications daily though, so i try not to be late and just bookmark some discussions i am doubtful of..

hi,
actually that's what i did now,i dont response to those new and fresh topic in a discussion because we dont know if that topic will be deleted by the admin,so i used my emails from the oldest email i had to avoid deleting of my response,and it is working.

I'm just new in here and i feel worried about my eagerness in responding to those discussions that interests me. I don't have any idea if what will be the causes of being deleted in here. I love this site because here I could find somebody to share my thoughts or problems and responds to theirs too if I'm alone or nobody to talk to.
