Is it okay to answer discussions when a "best answer" has been chosen?

I look at discussions and answer what interest me, but sometimes i notice that the one who posted it already has chosen the "Best answer", i still go ahead and answer anyway. But what should i do, go and look at other discussions that the "best answer" has not yet been chosen or is it olay to still make a comment on the discussion? Am not really vying for the best answer title, though i always try to give one to my posts.

I always answer discussions that interest me whether best response has already been chosen or not. I think if mylot didn't want us to continue to carry on these discussions then they would delete them once the owner chose the best response.

I think is OK to answer them aven after a best answer has been chosen. Especially of you have something extra/different/unique to say.
Also even if you are saying something similar it drives the point home harder when more people agree on the same thing.

Even if I see that the best response award has already been taken that never dissuades me from responding, especially if the discussion is interesting and I want to get my point across to! So yes it's completely fine to respond to any discussion regardless of whether best response has already been given out. Good luck!

Yes. I still reply to topics that interest me even if a "best answer" has already been chosen. I am happy when my post gets chosen as best answer, but ultimately the best answer is a subjective decision by the thread starter. I'm here to enjoy myself, get a feel of what others are saying about different topics, and hopefully earn a little along the way :)

I usually do not check if a discussion has selected a best response. I just answer topics that interests me. Besides, only very few selects the best response. Wow, your points has suddenly increased! good girl!
