No one cares if you butt in here at mylot... or do they?

l love the posts that meander all over the place. That is my favourite thing about myLot!

I find it interesting when that happens - and I don't mind a bit if people want to have conversations on my post, even if it's nothing to do with the actual post. If you were in a roomful of people in real life they wouldn't all stick to the same topic, would they? No - they'd start conversations of their own, even if they were in your house.

I have known a few members to be unhappy about this. To me it seems illogical to object because the discussion author will earn revenue from such interactions. I have a few friends here who reply to comments of mine, resulting in long conversations. I do the same at times.

I don't mind it at all so no worries with me. =) I enjoy reading what others say even if it's not about the topic of discussion-usually their conversations are pretty funny!

It doesn't worry me at all. And I thought it all added to our pennies anyway. I've been trying to do more of that but perhaps I'd better watch my step! You can't please everyone. :)

Quite a few people are like that here...I know of a couple so ignore them totally now I remember some time ago someone made a post the exact opposite of yours saying she didn't like discussions wandering and plenty of people agreed with her Personally I think people like that should think whether they actually want to be on a discussion site

There are actually a lot of people who feel it is "hijacking" a discussion when we do this, but most of them seem to be ones who have found this site since it has begun paying again ... and many are from the "B" site, but I do not believe that all newcomers from the "B" site are like this.

I don't mind getting "hijacked" here . . . actually I think it's kinda neat! But I can see how people would get annoyed on Facebook - I wouldn't dare do it to anyone there.

Ah, so far I don't really see anyone who says they'll mind that from responses here... I think it's just a few who would mind and the majority would not... In fact, the one who I know for sure hates it has not been very active on here anymore for a long time... And the few who think they don't like it will probably change their mind once they realize how fun and fast the so-called hijacking could help increase their bank...

I think you are pretty safe with the mylotters (like us) who have bene here for a while. I've seen mostly newbies who get offended if you "hijack" their posts.

This is something new to me. Thought we were open to comment at will on all things?

I do not care who talks on my discussion. I like people having a party with me

I do not mind it. This is a place to interact. If I want privacy between me and my responder, we should have sent private messages to each other.

As long as people are having fun with or on my post, I don't care.

As far as I'm concerned, the more the merrier! Anyone can barge in on my posts and in my responses - and many do too! Some have something to add to the conversation taking place at the time and others, usually friends who have been absent or with whom I have had no contact of late, just drop in and leave a 'ninja' emote and that is fun! It's good to see them and I then go and fish them out somewhere else. Iknow that some don't like it when it happens but I also know dor sure that others who didn't like it once have now understood that it benefits them both in monetary terms but also gains them new friends (often fun ones), Whoever joins myLot and just wants to sit in a corner and be all alone will soon be complaining that myLot is not worth their time etc. Their loss and they would be better to go to article writing sites rather than here on a discussion site *updated* This post is at the top of the 'hot discussions' list now. Why? Because of all of the activity - much of it caused by other people butting in. Surely that is proof enough, for those who don't want it on their posts, that it gives a discussion more visibility which in turn brings more earnings as more people can see it?

I minded too until I learnt that whatever is posted in my box I tend to earn from that

It would be dumb not to let other members "hijack" your post cause then you would surely lose some $$$. I am happy if anyone wants to hijack my discussions although I don't have that many, or maybe I could be one of those hijackers.

There are serial hijackers and if it's under your response, you get all the notifications, which can be annoying if you're no longer being included.

I don't mind when it is real, but some people seem to go to a post and then make generic comments on every comment which is what I consider hijacking. If you have a real conversation it is great, it just expands the topic. So feel free to jump in on any of mine since you make great comments!!

Feel free to do so in my posts as I enjoy jumping in on others'. Of course, if the discussion is rather sensitive or personal I hesitate... for a while.
