What is it that draws you to a certain Discussion?

I'm not sure I have a formula for searching for discussions. I have to admit there are a number of people that I became friends with here years ago that I am always searching for their discussions. But I have made some new friends too who make me think so I look for them too. I'm still trying to get used to the new format. As I have said before old dogs learn new tricks slowly. Some titles can be deceiving. One particular friend has a habit of using a play on words in the title to get your attention but once you read the post it is not what you thought it was going to be. I love that. She is very creative. I will also look for topics that I can relate too but I don't limit myself to these. Sometimes I will pick a discussion that has taken a view opposite of what I would pick hoping that we can turn it into a proper discussion. Sometimes it works and some times it doesn't. If it looks like it is going to deteriorate into an argument I walk away.

It depends on the day. I usually go to suggestions first and do those. Which that would be friends. After that, I look through the list of posted discussions and see what leaps out at me. That could be a combo of who posted and the topic. After that, I go to people and check out friends activity and may check out discussions based on those. But, again, I may not. I am wishy-washy that way. Mood is everything.

Same here. It's definitely all three for me.

My main reason for responding to discussions, is not only the title, but the body of the discussion. If it is interesting and I can give feedback, then I will respond, but if I can't then I will just move on to another discussion. I do also respond to my friends discussions as well.

I think everything. There is no particular reason at all. I do things in random but I do give specail attention to those who give time for me

The title of the discussion post is the first thing that catches my eye, and then the author of the post.

I respond to friends and to people who have been active on my posts. I know some people who are always interesting to me. I look for topics that I can contribute to as well. You will not find me running around saying "nice post".

I will see how the topic related and how can I put down my contribution on the same. I am an old member so if any familiar faces started the topic I give special interest to that topic for sure. I do this automatically, may be due to the nostalgia making me this way.

Most times, it is the subject matter that I can relate to. Then it is the other two.

I would go with the same, it is all three or any of the three at times....A subject I can relate to would be ideal !

Friends, interesting topics, funny, .... you know that kind of thing.

I read the title of the discussion, if it catches my interest, then I will open and read it. It doesn't matter who the author is. If I have something to say to it after I read it, I will like and respond. However, they are a few I interact with that I will read all their discussions, and try to comment on them.

I only respond to what draws me in.. then i get head long into the discussion.. however .. there are times when i get into. those side chats . with someone i know, a friend or someone with an interesting idea or even someone in need to a word of support.

I usually am attracted to what the post is about first. I use the Explore tab all the time and read the posts that interest me. I then go on and read posts from my friends that I follow.

The subject and who posted it and let's not forget you make the best brownies on the lot!

1. I know the person or 2. the topic is at least somewhat interesting.. Although I do run across the occasional one from a friend that's like, OK I"ll respond but really?

There are a few here whose discussions I look forward to. I have no hard and fast rule otherwise. If I can comment on any discussion that is how I go about choosing.

I answer every discussion I can Rosekitty. I do not have any preferences at all. Anything that I can supply some interactions with, I will do. Happy myLotting.

I just go down the ist of discussions and read them all.

I answer to a discussion when the topic interests me :) not only because of who posted it.
