Do you check the date the discussion was started before replying to that?

Yes, before responding any topic, I see first date of posting, subject of topic and content below the topic posted by Mylotee. I also see the gravity of subject. I do not reply cheaper topic. I am miser on that. After being fully satisfied first, I start making comment. Thats why I could respond 20 to 25 topics only in a day.

i dont check it

I did the same too. I always check when the discussion being posted. Usually I do not reply to the discussion that more than 2 weeks.

i do not check date...i reply the discussion which o like

yes i try to check on the dates when the discussions were started and then i read a few responses. this gives me an idea how long the discussion has been going and whether or not its been active or inactive.

I do look at it, but it doesn't effect whether or not I post a response to it. I go ahead and post responses to older posts too because it bumps them up, you could still get comments on your response from the person who started it or someone else who saw the post because your response bumped it up on the list.

yes i do check but only if i have a doubt that i have already responded to the discussion because many discussions are repeated here and look same.. or else i just respond to the discussions i find interesting
