@Abhijit- Unlike some other sites where we can respond to as many posters in a row, it's considered spamming on this site. Never mind if some members are doing it but they are doing it at the risk of their post(s) deleted. 2 is acceptable to once in a while but please avoid 3-4 posts in a row. Another friendly one coming from me for you ;)
Note- my first 2 consecutive posts were too harshly criticized 10 month before when I was a new member here. Cheers.

:S Spamming? I never knew that. If I get 5 replies, I guess, I can write a reply to all 5 people. I didn't get it - "in a row"? I click on "Quote" so that we know whom I am responding to. If I cannot respond immediately, all my answers appear in a row. So what do I do? It may mean, when I feel like responding, can't I respond?

You certainly can but after some one else too has replied but not two in a row unless must.

Can you please clarify - I couldn't interpret you correctly. Two in a row how? If you respond, so that's one, Mr. A responds: that's 2, someone else also responds, so that's 3. and then I respond which makes it 4. So, should I not respond to such answers.
OR
two in a row means, only my name appearing for 2-3 times to the left of the pane?
Please clarify?

Okay let me clear it if you want to reply to 5 people together you can do it like this
@a
@b
@c
@d
@e
else wait for some one to respond in between
Although if you have some thing urgent you certainly can use another box. chhers.

I still want to clear myself.
Suppose you are the first to respond to my query. Then Ushaji, then Rambabu, then Anil, then AKP, etc. and all of them respond to each other. This means it's only one response overall.but if I have to respond to all of them, it goes beyond 2. Then how do I do it? I am asking again and again so that I don;t want to lose the posts that I am taking so efforts to get on.

You can copy paste all the different peoples responses while quoting anyone and then respond to them individually in the same box...I do it many times to save too many posts.But if you want to increase your post and point count go ahead and respond individually, since that's what most people do...

Replying in the same box doesn't increase the points and post count? See, there are 5-6 in the same one.

I have often wondered how it would feel writing 1000 articles. If I were to add up all my articles on different sites, I can easily cross the 850 mark. But I am talking about having 1000 articles on only one site. How about that :woohoo:

Without wanting to dampen your enthusiasm I would say that quantity should never be a priority....I have seen some who have written 2000 + articles consisting of 400-500 words and most of them sound similar, so what is the point?

In one of my previous responses here, I had said that I give more importance to quantity than quality. If that were not so, I would have been writing far too many articles. I decided to cut the number short and instead focus on writing well. If you see some of my latest articles on EK, you will realize that I am writing longer articles with reasonable content - the thing I never gave importance to earlier.

It is the other way round right ? I give more importance to quality than quantity ....I agree that to put forth more information one has to have at least a medium sized article.But again it depends on the subject matter and the capability of the writer, there are some international writers who write such fine articles consisting of just 500 -600 words, I guess it is a knack they have, where no word is wasted and the sentence is to the point !

Oh that's something very horrible I said. I meant to say that I give importance to quality first and then quantity. My next sentence advocates this fact.
