Do you find it almost impossible to acknowledge every response?

I try to acknowledge every ones response. I don't want anyone getting offended for not replying. There is a lot of information to read and I plan on responding to every comment it may take me a minute, but thank you for your input on subjects that concern me. If I don't get back asap I would like to extend my sincerest apologies.

Heck there is no need to respond to EVERY response, just the ones that you have something to add to. If you don't have something to add there is no point in responding, you are not actually supposed to respond to every post, all replies should be on topic and not just a thanks for responding type of post.

I do understand and i wont get offended at all,you are not a ROBOT.lol cant speak for others though.I dont get offended its some people that will start discussions back to back and dont even read their responses at all and how you can tell is when they haven't made a comment on one response and have like 60 responses and just leave the discussion hanging.I do agree with the other member sometimes you do find yourself repeating yourself over and over again.Sometimes if i get to that point i will atleast say thankyou

I know, I see a lot of those going around. I will respond to a few of them. But, if they don't even acknowledge anyone, then I will probably avoid responding to that person's discussion unless it's something I really want to talk about.

I and a couple of other people have started discussions just like this. I am one of the few that respond to every post, but I have decided to change that for myself. I will only now respond if I can add something to the conversation.
I am like you, I feel that it is a courtesy to acknowledge everyone, but sometimes I find myself saying the same thing over and over again. On my discussion, I have found that the majority of people here won't get offended if you don't acknowledge them. I used to get offended, but I know better now.
As long as you respond to some of your posts, then I will know that you at least read mine.

I do try to acknowlege every response but sometimes I have too little time to do so to everyone. I do, however, make a point of rating responses to my discussions and also attempt to make a suitable reply as time permits.
I think most of us here understand that sometimes you don't always have the time hun

Well for my discussions yes I do try to and acknowledge each and every response that I get.But the thing is it may be due to the fact that I don't post too many discussions in a day.And also the discussions have not get many responses thats why it is possible for me to acknowledge every response.But I admit that I have not been able to look back at each of the comment on my responses.Though I try to go back to the responses given by me for any comments but still it becomes difficult if I have given too many responses within a short span of time.

Yes, on small discussions it is easy to acknowledge everyone. This is particularly true if the responses are all different.

the best way to go about this is to break up your mylot time in 3s. it works for me so let's see if it works for you. first thing i do when i come on is reply to all those who answered my questions. about an hour. then i use another hour to just answer questions. then the next hour i try to ask as many questions as i can think of. depending on how long you are on. you can go back and forth that way so you always make sure you are doing all that you want to do on mylot! good luck, let me know how it works out for you

Responding back to people who comment on discussions can become a lot of work... and especially if you happen to get one of those discussions that ends up with 100+ responses. Besides, how are you going to come up with something new to say to someone who posts essentially an identical answer to 17 other people?
I do read people's responses and rate them, but I generally only comment back to those who offered the best insights, or gave me something to think about. That doesn't mean that I don't appreciate other responses.

I feel trying to respond to every single response would be almost imnpossible and very stressful. I respond if a question is asked or if the comment is extremely excellent/helpful. If mylot seems a bit slow I may visit past discussions and respond to more of the comments.

Yeah I do. Oftentimes the posts just do not make any sense to me (could be my lack of understanding, I'm not pointing any fingers) or it's already been said, so I feel like I'm spamming if I say the same things again.

i don't get to acknowledge every single response I receive on my posts. i read them ALL but to respond to each and every single one, means i would have to come up with something different to say each time. I seen a lot of these posts and a lot of people just say "thanks for posting" and i feel that they do that just to increase their post count and earnings. i don't want to do it that way. but that's just me.

Not typically, unless when I am reading posts something catches my eye and I feel like adding to it, but usually no, I don't respond at all.
