A question about the Hints thread -

Last year we started off the Hints thread with lots of questions all at once - http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/sho...et+santa+hints

Some people liked it because they only had to answer one set of questions, some people didn't because it took too long to answer all of the questions all at once.

In previous years everyone contributed questions a little at a time:

http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/sho...et+santa+hints

(please note the first post has a summary of the questions, if you read further, you will see that they questions were asked a few at a time. )

So for those of you participating in Secret Santa, which do you prefer?

While it can be a bit of a marathon to answer a long set of questions all at once, I still think I prefer that. That way I settle down to answer the questions when I have time to think about them, and then know it's done, rather than trying to stay on top of yet another set of questions, and always wondering whether I've missed some. Also easier to make sure I've seen all the answers I need to for the person I'm buying for.

That said, and while that's my preference, I wouldn't want anyone to feel they couldn't add questions that had not been asked.

That's how I feel too.
To me it would be eaiser to do them all at once when I set aside time to knock all of the questions out.
Just whatever's easier though, I'm not too picky!!

All at once.

As a very disorganised person, I'd rather read peoples answers all in one post rather than searching 50pages for multiple postings of answers.

I voted all at once because then as Snake Lady said, you can see your person's answers all in one post.

I'm going to jump on the 'all at once' bandwagon too, even if it takes a bit longer to get responses...I'd be worried about missing part of someone's answers if I had to sift through pages and pages of posts.

Probably all at once. I've never done Secret Santa before and I'm so excited! Can we have some dancing bananas, please?

I like them all at once, it's fun to read through them all (for me) without trying to figure out who said what before. And I usually copy the list into a program and work on it in sections until I have time to finish the whole thing. Cant wait!

Nuh uh...might give me away!
I like to answer them all at once, but I also like to READ them all at once. Who wants to dig through the thread to find the MULTIPLE posts from their recipient? Not this chick!

Here... or There... Hmmm
I like either way and have no preference. I find it kinda fun to even have to "stalk" out old posts from whomever I get. So if it ends up being multiple posts I have to work a little harder but still have fun!

I voted a few at a time. I normally can't be at the pc for long periods at a time with the baby around.

I like getting a lot of questions at once. The thread gets too long to keep searching for new questions to answer. If you don't get the answer to questions you need than the snoopers can ask for you right? Seems simpler to me.
