how do u choose the disscusions u respond to ?

I think of what shouts in my mind . And then write . That how i do it .

I mostly only respond to new discussion or discussion my friends started. But somethimes I started answering something and finaly i don't do it at all because I can explain it in english. I don't usuly answer to big debate because its hard for me to answer to it.

i respond to discussion of my choice and respond very small part of it.

i pick by interest,any one that sounds interesting

i respond at disscusions at my friend start ...or who i like it

I try to respond to discussions I have a say in, if I don't have an opinion or they don't interest me - I don't respond

If the questions are posed intelligently,and if I can learn from or offer something to the conversation,then I will respond.Usually I don't if words are written phoentically or are computer-lingo abbreviated.I can debate well, I just hate to.

The way I decide what discussion at MyLot to respond to is by searching through the different discussion options, reading alot and finding issues posted that I feel strongly about or have personal or professional knowledge about. If someone has posted a discussion that is about something I wonder about, I may respond with my thoughts as well.

I have a few methods: 1) I go to my friends and see if any of their discussions look interesting. 2) I type in a keyword and respond to discussions about those 3) I just go to "recent discussions" and respond to something there.

i mostly reply to my friends discussions . but otherwise i choose those discussions to respond to which suits my mood

I take kind of a 'rennaisance man' approach. By that I mean, I know alot about alot of different subjects, so I try to share what I know. Sometimes, like in the joke threads, I post to entertain.

If I think that I have absolutely no interest in the subject, I try to avoid reading the topic altogether. I try to post at least 70 times per day, so I can't really use up time reading topics that I don't plan to reply to. I also am finding that there are certain users on Mylot who post things that I am immediately drawn to and like replying to. Some of these people are on my friend list now and I am receiving emails from Mylot when they start a new topic. This enabled me to reply to 4-5 discussions earlier this afternoon that I might have missed if I hadn't had these people on my friend list. I think that I'm really getting the hang of finding things to reply to on Mylot! It's so much fun posting here ^_^

i reply to as many as i can at the moment... just to get my rating up a bit... plus the money factor is good... i am on $3 dollars in 3 days... i know that doesnt sound much to me but on the first day i only got $00.19c so honestly i just respond to anything from friends, that im interested in or the subject.

Like you I have started reading a lot of discussions. And like you I only post to what I know best and only venture out into un-charted waters occassionally. My main interests are the legal system, employment law, medical myths and the like. Unfortunately, many of my "aquaintences" can't be bothered with a forum like this and as for my family members, most of them don't want to be so vulnerable as to post in an open forum.

well i can bet u most ppl lied here i bet atleast 40% would aswer if the avatar for their quest looked lets say pleasing ;0.....if you know wat i mean....anyways i do it by jus reading their title foe the discussion....and if i think i can answer the topic then tats what i do....like for eg. urs...p.s. i had a question similar to this...

i am new to mylot but i choose the discussions based on my intrests and i get good amount of discussion to respond. u can post to non intreted discussions also but itsuite boring.

I also read a lot but don't respond to most. How do you respond to something that makes no sense to you? I always try to respond to at least one of each of my friends posts a day. I also go into my interests and try to find something interesting to post on there...

I first read the heading and if i find that the heading is interesting then I go through the contents and if possible for me then I respond to it otherwise switch another one

I choose discussion in any topic..of course i much prefer the discussion i have interest in it subject..

i respond if i find it intresting and if i can understand the discussions
