OK, could you tell me why you are the only poster who posts Responses for something everyone else would just put it as a comment?

I just took in the fact that Responses draw much more attention from the visitors to this website than comments, and every single Response or original idea has your copyright for your book and talk about how you are the author of some books that potential buyers might google and want to buy.

So with that being said, you are the most likely person for a visitor to look at your biography. They then see that you have a crazy amount of more ideas than anybody else so that makes you a pretty credible author so they give you some of their money. It's just fine if you do do that, I wont care any more or less, I just think it's funny but hey we live in a world of marketing and business.

So then why exactly do you post responses for most things somebody would just comment on? I'm just trying to get a better understanding of the situation, just like you would suggest doing in your book ;)

Thanks whitman, I'm glad you're back. We've been using the comment string almost exclusively for awhile, but I see that other topics have response strings. Perhaps the big thinker can improve on this semi-redundancy with the next version after beta. Appreciate the kind words, friend.

What matters a response or a comment?
I like what sciencesaves contributes and intend helping such to get a better placement for viewing. By responding his idea moves to a more prominent location.
JD, lol, such an assumptive imagination. (not meant derogatorily, just factually You guess at another's motivation based on your perception, with no way of knowing their's, obviously.

It's called viral marketing. He's selling that book of his so if he makes 5% of the ideas on bigthink.com there is a good chance that 1/20 people who visit this website will be exposed to one of his ideas and that will lead to knowledge of his book and the visitor could possibly buy the book.
