I have a post with over 20 responses and I am not really used to it as I only have an average of 5 to 10 responses for my discussions. It has been weeks that passed but I haven't finished making comments on them yet. For those of you who have many responses, some even reached to 100, how did you manage to comment on them all? I'm at a loss of words because the responses are almost the same. How I wish I could give only one comment to all of them.

I have this problem too. Once I get 10 responses on my discussion and almost everyone is saying the same thing, I don't know what to say on the 3rd person who said the same thing. Sometimes What I do is say the another thing but the meaning of the words are actually the same. It's like I'm saying it using a different word or sentence. I'm sure they will understand.

That's really difficult if the responses are the same or mean the same thing. I have difficulty in commenting.

I cant give prompt response either due to various reasons.It could be because of my internet connection, no electricity, offline obligations or most of the time I just cant find the best words to post because some responses are just similar from the previous. So what I do is reply first those that I have something to say and leave the rest that I cant give sensible answer then just go back when I figured out what I should respond.

Well, as most of my friends and others know here, when I am spending time working on trying to respond back and resolve some of my older discussions, etc. there comes a lot of different responses. I do try and take time when I can to respond back as it is always interesting to see what someone has said.

Yes, Harley and I have been around here about the same amount of time, and we know each others ins and outs here. She knows how busy I am and how sometimes it might take me a while to respond back to a discussion I have started, but I do respond.

It seems that you already know each other. That's really nice to have friends who know each other by their real names.

oh isn't it something when you created a discussion and everyone seemed to love it... its just so hard to cope up with them and to reply to each one of them. i have learned to have the patience to that so... now. i used to just mark a best response and go about it as simply as i could but i do appreciate the effort of those who would reply so i'd really give me best to reply as well and leave a comment.

I have read from one of the discussions here which I already forget who it was that he likes that his response be commented. So I guess that there is really a need for us to comment. Not all wanted that their responses be commented but for those who wanted, then we have to comment every response but slowly.

I also get average around 5 to 10 responses but sometime i get more than 30 responses. I'm happy if i get a lot of responses because it give me a benefit. I not worried to find discussion to participate because i'm busy to comment responses in my discussion. I know some responses it look same and some i not understand so i just ignore it. I just comment back if i feel interested with that responses or the responses i can easily to understand.

Yes,sometimes it becomes very difficult to manage comments.And it's almost difficult to make comments on all our responses,if we have more responses.Then i think the best idea is to make comments to all in two or three days.If we get time in any day,then after two or three days or more,we can complete commenting all our discussions.

That's really true, hatley, I feel tired not to say the same things over and over but I could not prevent it as I have said the same things in my other comments.

This is the first time that I got over 20 responses so I decided to start a discussion about this as I became tired of making comments to the responses just to divert my attention.

I am not really counting on how many responses that I have. The most important one is to response in different discussions. Not only 100 responses, it can be unlimited responses in Mylot. 1 comment is not enough for us to earn. I hope you responded well here.

You know, I didn't mind so much about the responses to my discussion but I was not able to prevent what I thought when the responses to my discussion reached over 20 and that was the first time that I had such responses. I just don't know what to say to all of them and I even wished that I could make only one comment to all those responses.

pahak, I usually used to get 5 to 10 responses too but one discussion got 60 and another got 36. Now it was very difficult for me to keep answering the responses over and over. So what I did? I stopped starting the discussions and just keep on responding to discussions started by others. This is best solution I think I had.

I agree with you, we will start a discussion only after we answered all the responses.

I don`t comment all the responses I get. I couldn`t possible do that. So I choose some responses or do more if I have more time. The idea is to give personalised responses or not give any (except if the comment you want to give is similar).

I have never had all that many responses to my discussions, so it isn't hard for me to get them done. I just take the time to comment back on all the responses first, before i even think about responding or commenting back to other discussions. the most i have received on any one discussion is 49. I could still get more since it is a fairly recent discussion, but even if I don't, then that is okay too, as I did comment back to all of them. Now,, I have noticed, that i don't always get an email when someone responds to my discussions, as I have had to go back and find them and see if there are any more responses, so I can comment back. I have had people comment back to the responses i made several months ago, so if you can't commetn back right away, then just do it when you can. Take care, and have a very good day.

Thanks and I'll do what you said. I am just troubled because there are those who want their responses be commented immediately. I read from a discussion that he wanted that his response should be commented. So I guess there are only few who wanted their responses to be commented immediately.

I try to answer one by one to all people who respond in my started discussion. I do seldom start one but if I start one, I try to answer most of them thought they are almost the same. MyLot notifications are almost on so imaginethe flood of my yahoo email address inbox. Butit is okay for me because I like it that way. Happy Lottings!

That also happens especially if I did not log in for several days and I started several discussions before I log out. When I come back, I would sometimes spend days just to make a reply to my started discussions. If I am not very busy with my offline job, what I would do is that I will open several tabs so I won't be spending too much time opening and closing a tab. I also don't start much discussions because if I do, I will not have enough time anymore to visit my friends discussions. Have a nice day!

Well, that's really the best thing to do, to start a discussion only after all the responses are being answered.

I agree with you. I had read a discussion with so many responses and I saw that all the responses were being commented. I admire those who have popular discussions, they managed their comments well. I admired them.

but fellow m y lotters we are not magicians so we do have to come back several times to comment back on the responses we get and I do do it almost all the time. Once when I was ill I got way behind and now several years later when my old discussions get resurrected I have found responses made that I did not get to so am still commenting back on them. I am fortunate that I am retired and elderly so have plenty of time.

Hi Hatley. I read some of your discussions and they indeed have several responses. I admired you for starting good discussions that attracted other mylotters to respond.

I raised a point that will encourage them to comment back but the problem lately, notification still not working so they missed some of my reply. It happens also to those post that I responded, I want to interact with the owner specially those I leave some questions. So far, all of my recent post I commented back even I am too busy.

I know you have limited time doing myLotting because of your recent job. I am lucky because I stay whole in our shop and I can do myLotting during my idle time

Yes, that is true, I've been busy recently because we are undermanned at the office. One of my officemates is on mourning leave since her daughter is still in state at their home and will be buried next week. Aside from two vacancies that we have right now. That is the unfortunate situation of government offices. No hiring because of the coming election aside from the fact that there is a no hiring policy in our agency for those stations that don't reach the number of cases required in order that vacancies will be filled up.

Hi julyteen, that is what I'm doing now, I try to comment to the responses to my discussions. With the internet which is not good this time, I could not be in front of the computer for a longer time. Wish I could finish commenting all of them.
