do you care choosing the best responses on your discussions posted?

Yes I select a best response, but I am never in any rush to do so. I still have some unresolved discussions from several years ago. I usually give best response purely on merit, so if a member posts a very interesting or worthwhile response then it is the obvious choice. This applies irrespective of whether or not the response is in agreement with my views. I have given quite a few best responses to posts that disagree with me completely, but if the response is well thought out then I will happily select it. If I do not ecieve any responses that I feel qualify, then I do not select a best response. It seems wrong to me to set a time frame and simply a mediocre or average response, which would be unfair to later posters. I am not deterred by a discussion already having a best response and will still respond if the topic appeals to me, which I have done numerous times.

i guess it depends on what "best" response means to you. is it the one who "read" your mind? wouldn't that make it a guessing game? what about the one or two members whose views are the opposite or slightly off center but presented it well or even humorously?

I do check my started discussions from time to time. However, I mark best response after 2 months or more when I have more or less received all the possible answers. Yes, some people do respond after that, but they are fewer and far in between.

Yes, I do care. It's my other way to be close with the other members in a way that their response was chosen.

Hi, I also noticed the best response in every discussions but I never thought of the importance of it. Not until you pointed it out . I thought we have to choose a best responder only if we like to, I rate their responses thu, I find it better than to chose a best response because I might find a respond best enough but the others might not. Thank you for this discussion, I think it's better to give a best response in my discussions from now on. It would be nice to make someone happy atleast in a very simple way.

Hey, First of all thanks for posting this discussion, otherwise I myself would have posted regarding this.lol I became a member of Mylot just a week ago, and its a nice place where you can share your views and help others and you're also helped. Just a couple of days ago, I saw on my profile that one of my comments was chosen as the best, whereas I almost forgot that topic where I commented. But even though that person wasn't any friend of mine nor I knew her. But she must have felt mine was helpful and marked it as the best response. I also created a few discussions where I was also helped and on one particular discussion I just liked one response which was very detailed and to the point, and that just moment I decided to mark that particular response as the best comment. I know others also spend their valuable times and come up here to share their opinions on various topics, and honestly I just appreciate those who response and at least I rate the discussions apart from choosing the best response which obviously has to be one.

I am really behind at resolving my discussions. It is a good idea to visit all of your unresolved discussions to see if any new responses have come in. I do not feel badly if someone else gets best response and I tend to mark best response when the responder seems to have gotten inside my head and truly understands the questions. However I have also marked best response when someone had made me see things in a new light.

I always forget to check my discussions and find a best response. I'm going to have to make a point to do that today. Thanks for the reminder.

I do go through when I have time and pick best responses. I do like to let a discussion pend (sometimes for well over a year) before doing so. However, I get unhappy when someone picks a best response the same DAY as they started the discussion. Now, having said that, when I have an urgent problem and I need advice, I will pick a best response when I decide what to do, one time it was only a little over a day that I did so, but I needed advice right now, I got some good advice and picked the best one.

I always choose the best response. But I will not decide which is the best so early. I like to choose the best response after one week later. Since I like to give enough time for everybody to share the view. And it will be fair for me to select which is the best at that time. It is a kind of appreciation to the people who responded to my discussions.

I do care, the only problem i have is that i don't do it quite often enough. I like to award my best response to the responders, it just make the member feel good knowing that i recognize their effort and selfless contribution to my discussion, giving out the best response is a great way to reward the best among the good responses i often received from the members. Having read your discussion, i realize it is the time of the year again for me to go back on my unresolved tab and choose the Best responses for few of my previous discussion i left out again. Fine, i will take your recommendation and will return the favor soon.

I choose best responses, but not always. I like to wait until more people have answered my post and some times I forget to check or don`t have the time. I also have problems sometimes when choosing between two very good answers.

The best answer depends on many things, I think. whether this response has given you some valuable advice whether this answer your satnalo clear whether the topic is really whether you think the answer for the best. when there is a great one to give that answer. I gave that answer but also I have unresolved debates. so that's your right. nice day!

Hi, i agree i give + to everyone at the same time when i respond back , but for best response i wait for some time . There are discussions of mine which i didn't select any best response i am aware of that. When i go back and check the discussions again then i give/select the best response.
