do you hate it aswell ??

I have to confess that I do not comment on all responses. In fact, I wouldn't recommend you do that for your responses too. When you add in your own comments, the page gets lengthened and sort of spoil the conversation. So what I do is I will *selectively* comment. I do read every single response but I will comment only if you ask a non-rhetorical question, if I have something to say, or if your response is so exceptional that it begs comment. For discussions that get many responses, it also becomes impractical to respond to EVERY response. Think about it this way. If I look at just one discussion and reply to all 100 people - that would be 100 posts! Why, on good days, I might be able to make 100 posts. So saying, if I spend myself making that 100 responses, I cannot respond to discussions started by my friends - I would simply have no time. And for me, I like to start regular discussions. It's really not possible to make a few hundred posts a day.. :P So I strike a balance. I try to reply to my friends' discussions, as well as respond to the quality responses made to my discussions. I would also suggest that if your response isn't commented on, it might be that the discussion starter is not active anyway. If you know that a certain person will never bother to reply to anyone, then just drop him. Don't bother with his discussions anymore. :P

I know what you mean.I try not to feel discouraged when someone doesn't comment to my reply even when there are few respondents.However,I understand when there is a deluge of responses to the discussion. I try to comment to all responses in my threads as much as possible.It's only when a discussion receives huge number of responses that I feel little intimidated.In that case,I always try to answer in the respondents discussions so they know that I did acknowledge their responses and visited their profile to check their threads. From now on ,I will make it a point to comment to atleast my friends responses no matter what .I will try to comment to as many others as I can manage. Hopefully, some of these days a solution will pop up and I will stop feeling guilty,lol.

I find it very annoying. I expect more from these users, but some people show their true colors. They are first and formost here for the earnings. It does take some mylotians a little longer co reply because of the many responses they get. But i do see some users starting new discussions and not even going back to review previous discussions that might have been replied to. Believe me you will hear many make excuses. There are people who will get back to you just give it time. Don't get to down thinks can improve. Take care Mimpi.

I leave comments after all the responses which I receive to my discussions. It is just my personal choice, as I like to let people know I have read them and appreciate their response. I also don't like to be discourteous but that is another personal feeling. I don't get annoyed when people don't leave comments after my responses as I know it can be difficult if they have posted a lot of topics, but like you, if I post a response and there are only a couple of responses, then I think it would be nice to receive a comment. I find quite a lot of these people never bother to pick a best response either, so they are just posting in order to gain points.

Well, I don't hate but sometimes somewhat disappointment I really feel. Response is always given after a thought and to add a comment really means that your response has been accorded by the person. But not necessarily to have a comment is imperative. No comment means nothing more than a little bit satisfaction. ;) Feel positive with your response while having no comment. I try to do so. If few responses are there then I really try to make some comments. Good Luck for next time.

I try to respond to as many as I can, but once you start 20 discussions a day it can get pretty time consuming. Sometimes, I just take an hour and go back and respond to an many responses to by discussions as possible..Also try and rate everyone a + and pick a best response.

I had this problem in the beginning and so I took time to study the system to see why my discussions were not being seen. This is what I found, when you start a new discussion it only stays visible a few seconds on the first page. Most people never go beyond the first page to respond. I now get lots of responses, but it took me months to figure out how to do this. I will tell you my secret. I have spent a lot of time building my friends list to a whopping 500. I support all of my friends that support my discussions. Once I started adding more and more friends to my list my discussions started getting responses. As big as MyLot is today it is imperative to build a good strong friend base and support them.

I totally agree with you.I saw many people here never add a comment at them discussion.They thinking that is waste of time ....I 'm not sure if you get paid from this (I think but very little)and really I don't care at all.I always try add comments ,this is a way to show you start a discussion but YOU didn't even care about it ,and of course for all the people them come to response.So impolite.I admit this was the reason I stop response to some members. PS:I'm glad you aren't one of them.Before little you response to one of my discussion,the first thing I did when I open mylot was add for you a comment.....untill I type this post I saw you add comment to my comment.....thanks.

For me no..but I would most appreciate it if my response was responded as well. What I am not pleased about is when nobody responds to a discussion I make.

Sometimes I hate comments especially when they are bad comments and they disagree with my beliefs but sooner or later I realize that it is just a comment and time will pass that I won't get to remember it. As well as the person who tells that comment.

Why there should be hate if any one or few one is not responsing? We write because we want to write: Want to give comments or to express our our self and point of view! you can visit my posting and see that still there discusions i have started and yet no one is responded! But I know that what I wanted to put and start I have put and started now who will have such interest will come across and respond! That's all!

I tend to comment back on most responses, at least on the first page... which covers your scenario of discussions with just a FEW responses. However, when a discussion gets into the 40,60, 100 response range, I only comment back selectively... mostly to give a "nod of recognition" to those who obviously put quite a lot of effort into their reply. However, I'm unlikely to comment back on "one-liners" or responses that basically repeat what several previous posters have already said.

I have noticed that some of my questions (which are ask in the wee hours) someone has copied them to some effect in day time hours and have lots of responses. Maybe I am not wording them properly? It makes me feel like my questions are not very important and I need to carefully choose my words better.

I totally support u. i would feel bad

Being that I already left a long comment on another response... I just wanted to add that I wouldn't take it personal. Beleieve it or not, some discussions actually recieve hundreds of responses. I saw one with 500 something! Could you imagine trying to acknowledge every single one?

Well I have learnt to take this in my stride, there is no point in thinking bad about your responses as with time you might get some very good responses. It is worth the wait.

I do agree with you to a point. I generally comment on a reply that I have gotten but not to every single person. Sometimes the responses all pretty much say the same thing so I don't just continue to repeat myself. I do like to go back and look at discussions that I have responded to to see if the person enjoyed my input, thought it was helpful, or didn't like what I had to say. I don't know maybe I just don't have anything better to do.

The only time I get irritated is when I have given a long, thought out response to a serious subject and I get no comment. I think I'm starting to adjust to MyLot and some things I am beginning to take with a grain of salt. It does get frustrating, especially if the person seemed passionate about the topic. but if there area ton of responses i don't always expect to get a comment.

That really pees me off as well because then you really see who is here for the discussion or who is here for the cash. And i really hope that they aren't making as much cash as me. I think the word discussion must mean that there is an exchange of comments and not jst someone asking a question and someone answering it and thats the end of it.

There are a lot that I don't really have a response for. If you need an example, someone stared a discussion about American Idol. I don't watch it. That doesn't mean I think no one should. It just means I don't and because I don't, I don't have an opinion.
