Comments are not responses,Responses are not comments!!!!

INERTIA HI you respond to a discussion so mylot sh ows that in a sentence above your box saying respond to this discussinl and the red tags below will say post response. okay When you comment on others responses to your discussion or on responses on others discussions the sentence above your post will read add comment to this response

hi inertia I am glad you respond to discusson you have started as I have done the same thing., there are discu ssions with responses and no comments back which looks like a waste' of time to me. ia always comment back alth ugh sometimes I may be late doing it.

Like I said, even though it may sound confusing, it is all relative. It all basically means the same thing. I do not pay attention to any of that. I get my email and respond to my friends discussions and to the ones I have started. Its that simple.

hi sishy some people gave me a lot of flack bu t you understand what I was ge tting at . its so much easier if we both are using the same terms then we will understand each other. ll

It's ok, don't worry too much how others reacted to this topic... I have similar feelings when I try to correct those who refer to 'User Rating' as 'Post Counter'... Oh well, I can only try and it's up to them whether they want to use the correct term or not...

hi thaks it is so silly to get upset about my discussion'as the proof \of the meaning of the two terms is right below this boc. post comment which is what I am doing now back to those who agree and those who tell me to leave us aloner.

hi dfollin thanks thats what I wanted to get across as so many\uses those terms to m ean anything and yet each term means just on thing. why else have different terms iof we are not going to use them for what they meaqn?

Exactly Hatley, There are some people that I have found that do not respond to my discussions and just make comments to the responses.

yes just short comments on longer responses.

oh dear bunnybon why is everyone out to get me because I pointed out the way my lot uses the two terms and how its easier when a person is talking about responses to know that he or she means what we put down to respond to someone else's discussion., I am sorry I even made this as I guess I am the only one who has seen the red tag lines below this box that says post comment. I am not policing anyone or anything like that. There's nothing to forgive you for.I was just pointing out that m lot uses the terms are not interchangeable but comment means to comment on a response or another comment and response means the initial responses we give to each other. I am sick of this discussion as everyone is taking this the wrong way sorry i made it

bunnybon I am not criticizing anyone nor scolding just pointing out that m, ulot herself uses comment one way and response a different way.as for my misspelling and the damned space between some letterS I have a keyboard that space bar malfunctions so I have to go back by hand and tighten up the words and I am human Look I was not scolding anyone and I forgive you but do you forgive me? I have feelings too and I was just try ng to show how mylot makes a difference between comment and response.I w as not criticizing anyone bu t I am getting flak for being me I guess.I started this because I and and another mylotter were talking about two different things and each one of us thought the other one was talking about the same thing. so I thought maybe we needed to clarify the two terms.

you are firgiven! I mean forgiven.

hi dorannmwin I think so many people just think they a re all interchangeable but mylot does not do it that wa y.I love it when others come to my discussion and comments on my comments then others comment on the comments so we have a lively discussion going on for ages.

hi Ricki I seem to have made people mad and am wishing I had never made this. those who do not a commentis made on a resopnse or another comment and a resopnse is what we originally make on friends discussions so I say to all just look below my box mylot r ed tagline say s POST COMMENT.

hi I am now sayhing just read mylots large sentence that is always about our boxex a nd read the red tagts below and you will understand jus twhat I mean bu\coments and reponses too.

I would ignore those, who are trying to argue with you. You have been here for a long period of time, and know more than they do. I understand what your discussion is implying, but some simple dont take the time and read it.

hi ambie just read abou ve and below your box when you make a response to somone else's discussion and also below\ot will say post resoponse or poost comment depoeningin on which it is you ar doing. I was just trying to show comment and resonse are two different thingsWe resond to a discussion, we comment to a response or another comment.

silverfox I did not make this discussion to fight or fuds just telling all how my lot uses the terms and how is is easier when discussing response or comments if we both are talking about the same thing check the red tagb belows it says Post comment.

hi cutie yes in a nutshell uou have it right and i was just pointing out whart mylot does w ith the two different words.

rosegarden the use of these terms outside m lot is different. nmylot admins uses response to a discussion and comment on responses and other comments just observe above my box it says add a comment to this response?\ and just below it asks post comment. follow my lot usage then we all will know what the hell each of us is talking about. myolot simplfies it b y having in huge letter here' 'ADde a comment to this respnse amd below my box it sa ys post comment. now if I was responding making my response to a dicussion it wo uld sayu add your response to this discussion. look I know the dictionaryh meaning but I am taling my lot use of two different t erms.

hi surekharathi glas t see you as you always make me smile. yes indeed'yu oiu do and respond as well as you can in the time you hae. todays the sun is shining brighttly and birds are singing its a lovely day aagin for November here In c alifornia,

hi vidhyprakash you are always so good to resopnd to my disucssions and i am always pleased to see you . you always seem to understandwhere I am coming from too. so many think here is no difference but mylot showed us how toi use each ordk by placing a stagement above our box and beloe it says post comment. so my lot uses them that way and so shoile we.

hi maileaperalta so many newbies are so afraid theywill do somethign wron that they get in their own wayl just say what you feel is w hat I always tell 'them as you cannot go wrong that way . we all have feelings and a l ot of timnes we find that we are not alone in our feelings either. thats what makes mylot so great to talk to someone man y miles from me who also loves some of the sam things I do y et we both have very different cultures and c ustoms. we are all humans too.commentng a lot on others comments has earned me quite w ell but best I have s o m uch fun here with knowing how others feel too.

hi stan not until I got into a slight argument over why we should make comments back to all who respond to our discussions a d this mylotter was telling non no'mylot says y ou do not have to leave a response if you cannot think of a good one for that particular discussion I reminded her that I was talking about making comments by the discussion maker on his or her responses she got from fellow my lotters. I was talking comments she was talking responses now had she been usingc omments to refer to the input we should add to the responses we get she would have known what the devil I was getting at.

Dear Hatley, you asked for "your take" so I gave you mine. I was not targeting you. And you were, collectively, pointing the finger at those users who get things wrong. I really don't understand you becoming so defensive here when you are usually one of the first ones to come to the rescue of those who do not normally write or even converse n English.

oh myh gosh I am not usually like that Mstickle I was ill that day and really shojuld have waited til I felt well.Yes I was out of line as I was working with abdomional cramps and my reasoning was not very good. sorry bout that too 'as I do realize that a lot of people here have English as their second languages and some do improve so much over a few weeks which I know i would not do in learning another language, I do apologize really. Today I am myself again for better or worsel. lol l

mstickle the only thing I was trying to get at is if two people are trying to discuss something and both are using different terms it can get really confusing. I was talking about I felt it rude to not comment back to us who respond to the posters discussion and she was telling me it said in the guidelines that if we do not have anything really good for a response we can move on to another discussion. so I was trying to explain that I meant comments back on a response not responses. to a discussion. And no I did not think I was pointing fingers at anyone here. my gosh others make discussions like this and nobody accuses them of being mean and pointing fingers so why me? Actually mylot shows us the terms they use if we look above our box and see an Add a comment to this response or post a response to this discussion. I know I am having a time with typos and yes I do use spelling checker and I do preview and edit but still miss a few in spite of all the precautions I take,Okay if anyone is feeling I am mean I apologize as I do not intend to be rude at all. So comments are made on the responses we get and on others comments. Responses are to our discussions and other di and others resoponses too. This is not my doing it is how mylot uses comments and responses."So if anyone does not like those meanings go jump on my lot too.

green moow mylot helps us if we pay attentionl above nmy oc is sayhs add a comment to this response. s ure;y you trust mylot to mean what it prints also below my box it says pot comment? that is all I was try ing to show. people get upset over mny telling the truth that is not my fa ult.

Confusion reigns .....

'responses to my comments' - there is no such thing 'responses to my topic of discussions' - the only response thing exist 'comments to my responses' - is what I'm doing to your response 'comments to my comments' - is what you or others will put under this comment; and those are the ones we don't get notified of.

hi chang thanks as I thou ght maybe I would clarify theste two terms y ou resopnd to a discussion you comment on a response or another c omment thats the si mple way of knowing which is which.

hi chang I see I again managed to make some typos but you have the distinction now. responses a re what w e make to the posters discussion and c omments are what he or she makd back on our responses.[

I notice that they did call the response which the discussion starter made" New comment" and call the response which the reader made to discussion "new response" in my yahoo inbox notification.Thank you!

the big deal is that a response is what you make to another person's discussion and a comment back is what the discussion maker makes to those responses he or she gets. myulot uses these terms look below my vbox it says post comment.I am commenting back to your snippy response. no we not have rates here so who kno ws which pa ys more thats not the point at all. a comment is NOT A RESPONSE.LOOK AT HE POST SIGNS THAT WILL L SHOW YOU THE DIFFERENCE. TO YOU IT MIGHT NOT BE A BIG DEAL BUT IF Id am talking about we should comment back to all our responses and you sa y we should respond to all our responses that really does not make much sense.

hi hereandthere yes I agree we should always write as mu ch as we need to to convey our input in comments too as well as in responses. I just tried'to pur out like this box right now mylot has a large s entence above add a comment to this response and below the red tag line says post comment. that is the way I use comment and response. so nobody else cares fine. blame it on my lot not my idea but for me i like to use the correct terms my self.

typoo I just tried to point out not pur sorry ikt missed editing

darn even in posting a correction I made another typo Ikt should have been I darn.

hi jdalaqui did I say anywhere in my discusson its a n offense? no but if two people mean two different things then its a little hard for them to understand each other. because mylot u ses the tern response to mean a response to a discussion,either mine or anyone elses and a comment to mean a comment on those responses. so why not all of us us use the same terminology? Mylot even uses it like right hereb elow my box it sa ys post comment. this is my comment to your response.It might not be an offense but to someone who does post a comment that is what she is going to say, I am not posting a response.
