Starting a discussion or responding to a discussion - which is better?

It's actually easier for me to respond to topics rather than starting them. I don't like to manage a lot of responses that's why I only stick to creating topics where I truly need or want to know how other people think or their views about my topic. I am more of a "responder" than a "topic creator". I think responding is easier and you don't need to be involved with the topic till the end. I mean, when my issues with a topic is over, that's that. I won't need to look into it further. As for earning money, we earn by how many posts we do or how many exchange we do. The moment you post a response to a topic, and a response to the person who responded to your topic, that's the time you earn. Have a great Mylot experience ahead!
