...i was just about to comment, but I changed my mind

Who ever starts a discussion, we must share if we are interested. No I dont turn my comment into a discussion. Rather I start the same topic with different aspect of it. For example if some one starts about dogs food. I can start about dogs disease and medication. Anyway a discussion is just like a flower whom we will all help blosom or develope so that it can scater a fantastic fragrance to all of us.

Yep, I've done that in the past - started writing an answer and realised that I was wasting good material.. I have done similar things with blog posts too - I get halfway through a post and realise I can use this as a series rather than just a one-off... Sometimes our 'pen' just runs away with us and the 'ink' is flowing, the stream of conciousness is open and we are off!

Never of a talker myself, I don't respond too many as you put it. If I can get few lines as a response that is enough for me. Sometimes I do get talkative but never been too many that I should put it as my own new discussion. Sometimes the responsibility to comment back on the responders gets me thinking...

I have changed my mind mid stream like that before. I agree that since you had lots to say in that response that it was a great thing that you made a new discussion on it. Sometimes thats how new discussions are born.

Yeah, sometimes I was just about to comment then I leave the page. Sometimes, reading alone satisfy me already thought I know we don't earn just by reading. Whatever! Being in this site reading makes me happy anyway..

okay once no twice more lost two responses to something.I thought I was the only one to take a too long response and make it into a discussion.I really must have hit a spontaneous chord with others as I really got a lot of responses about seeing this man in his cage thirty feet up trimming a huge tree. So my instinct was a really good one that time.Hope yours was too and you got a lot of nice responses to your discussion too. Now those trees he butchered look like trees in a science fiction novel all bare and twisted and ugly. but they tell me they will bush out'again and be lovely and green once more.I know if I was thirty feet up in a cage I wou ld be screaming'get me down.

It didn't happen to me yet, since my number of discussion have not reach 500 yet. There is this rule that you're only allowed to copy-paste when you participate to MyLot's discussions 500 times. But it occured to me so often that by just leaving comments inspire to write another topic regarding the comment that I post. Like, right now, I'm thinking of another topic about this.

Yes, this happens with me many times. Instead of posting my comment, I decided to start a discussion. I am sure this also happen to other mylotters.

Hi adnileb Well, this hasnt happened with me as you describe. But yes, I will be honest, here have been instances when I found a discussion (and sometimes my response too) to go for a new discussion - the inspiration kind of thing. Of late there was one from me which was inspired by Ms Bingskee's discussion. But there hasnt been anytime when I thought I should go for a new discussion instead of responding on one.

Hi this happens with me even, i type the response but again change my mind ,i don't know why it happens. never got the answer, but never made it as a discussion hmm new idea. good one.

Not really. I don't really write out discussions, either.

Hi friend, good to know that you converted a comment in to a new discussion. This kind of incidents never happened to me. There is nothing wrong in your activity, if you placed the comment, you don't get a lot of replies and other persons views to your comment, but your topic will help you to get more replies and come to know about various views, as well as you can make a lot of comments to each and every reply. Finally a single comment made you to create a topic which lead you to place a lot of comments

hi there... no not really... never tried that but there is a certain discussion that might lead me or leaded me to make a new discussion because from the gist of the story, a new discussion had been made out from it even from the title alone and not on reading on the body of the story itself. but would like to share experience as i downloaded a picture and as i put some caption to it, i narrated the story long, so instead putting things that way, i copied and pasted it to the discussion box and i shortened the label of the picture i used to download. so that was it... thanks :)

I have seen several comments that have been made by people that are extremely long.. It really depends on the discussion; sometimes the longer explaination is necesary to give a complete thought.. And or there are some topics that really inspire to write.. If my comment gets long but it is within the topic that the other person start I post it.. But if I have questions or something that would completely side step the current discussion yes I will start my own discussion..
