Dearth of interesting discussions.

Thanks for your suggestion, this is what I have done and I have started my own discussion. Yes, you are very right that we have different kinds of interests and what may be interesting to you may not be interesting to me. It is interesting that you love to hear about life of mylotters and it fascinates you.

I clearly wrote in my discussion either of the category, which in other words means all categories.

@dpk262006 so what kind of topics do you want to see here?

@hereandthere - I would like to respond to those discussions, which are general in nature and where I could say something or share my own experiences about it.

I am not active here all the time, it is possible that I might have missed some interesting discussions.

@LadyDuck Yes, such kinds of discussions makes no sense.

@dpk262006 There are a lot (too many) Good Morning and Good Night posts, those are not discussions and quite frankly they should have no place here.

Yes, I wrote the word dearth which means - "a scarcity or lack of something".

@dpk262006 my mistake. ;)

@dpk262006 Thanks to you. ;)

@poehere You have developed a set pattern and you have devised a strategy to read and respond interesting discussions. You also find discussions of your choice. Good to hear that you have a set group of friends here and you love to respond to their posts and you go into long conversation with them. Keep it up.

You mean to say that it is simply a matter of chance that some day we find discussions of our choice and some day we keep on searching and find nothing. It is good to hear that you find interesting discussions to respond.

@dpk262006 I really wouldn't consider this a change. I guess I would say it is more the mood of the people and what they decide to write this day. I search down and read the title and the first two lines. If the first two lines seem interesting, I will open the post and read it. Yesterday, I responded to a post I normally would never read, but this person was so bold and attacking the way women drive. I had to say how I felt on this one. I have a very small group of people I enjoy talking to here. I get into long conversations with them on a post. These are normally the first ones I respond to when they write. I am not saying I respond to all of their posts, but I do respond to a great many of them. I can relate to some of them so well because I too have similar things that have happened or are happening that make me laugh or relate to their posts.

You mean to say that you always find discussions of your choice, it is I who do not find such discussions?

@vsai2008 It is good to hear that you sometimes find interesting discussions to respond.

@dpk262006 Not every time of the day but I find something or the other once a day

I feel that even if you write about personal matters, you write in such a manner that you will elicit responses. I sometimes miss to see your discussions due to time gap or due to other reasons, I am guilty of that. I understand that you reply to those discussions which catch your eyes. It is true that you just cannot reply to all the discussions. Thanks for your kind words about my discussions, I feel honored. PS - I will check your discussion soon.

You mean to say that if you search for some good discussions, you are able to find the same. It is good that you are able to find discussions of your interests here.

Thanks a lot for understanding my point. No other respondent so far got what I wanted to convey. It might be interesting to hear about happenings in a friend's life whom we know in a better manner and feels closer. However, on such discussions, we have very little to comment. You are right that serious or controversial matters should also not be discussed.

@AbbyGreenhill Thanks for your kind words. No other respondent has seems to be in agreement with me.

@dpk262006 See, you have started an interesting discussion...if someone else had the same idea would you have commented on it

Yes, you are very right that all kinds of writers are here.

@dpk262006 Yes that's it

You mean to say that you like all types of discussions which are posted here?

@DianneN OK. You like most of them.

@dpk262006 Not all! That would be absurd! lol

I am not clear how this is a personal post? This is a discussion about dearth of discussion on mylot and it is a general category discussion.

@ilocosboy The post does not say anything about my own activities, if you feel that it is a kind of personal post, you are entitled to hold your opinion.

@dpk262006 its written in first person point of view and you are speaking of your own opinion.

Welcome to mylot family. Thanks for your suggestion.

The discussion is four years old but seems relevant even today.

It seems a good idea. Do you find discussions started by new members useful and interesting?

@celticeagle You already have your bag full, so you do not need to search for new discussions.

@dpk262006 ......Not usually. I rarely get to the new ones. Have enough notifications and posts on my friend's list to do.

Nice to know that you have observed same thing, which I observed.

It is interesting to hear that you are a personal bloggers, therefore, you could easily relate to those discussions which have personal life and happenings to discuss. I would like to respond to those discussions, which are general in nature and where I could say something or share my own experiences about it.

Thanks a lot for agreeing with me that you also do not find many interesting discussions on this platform.

Yes, many of the active mylotters are missing due to one reason or the other. May be they are too busy in their offline activities and they do not have time to spend on mylot. I can understand that your have many responsibilities to discharge, therefore, you are less visible on mylot.
