Maybe if people actually read the answers that were already given, there might not be so many of the same questions from different people. anyone agree?

I agree but there are so many damn questions on here that by the time someone posts a new one, the old one is on page 10,000 and some people haven't seen it yet.

some people just want to hear what other people think, they know what the answers is but want to know if there are anyone to back them up on them

Is that the truth?\nWell going on most of the questions here its probably because they would if they could, and man wouodn't have stopped long enough to gain any inteligence.

I think it's a great idea, although I honestly believe that those with the senseless blather would find the other half and continue their nonsense. Some people have too much time on their hands and use that extra time for nonsensical things like those questions instead of actually trying to help those who have legitimate questions here!\n\nPerhaps Yahoo should keep track somehow of the actual authentic questions and answers given and once a person reaches a specified amount, then they could be given access to a "special" section that is reserved for authentic Questions and Answers that those who misuse it would be restricted from.

The problem there, some questions cant be read...lol\n\nYes, I read them before answering.

I think the idea is that everyone knows the answer to something, so if you ever run out of points you should be able to find a question you can answer to earn more points.  That provides an incentive for more people to answer questions.

Well, when someone gets too many answers they may want to know which is more accurate and a way to find that out is to know how many other people think that way, it is not about popularity, the asker wants an answer.

I think there are certain things that can be and possibly should be answered with more depth yes.  However, I do see your point, if we provide links that give the same info or more..that should cut it down.

Ya, but look at how many good positive answers you got to the same question. In this world there are positive people and negative. That is across every group of people.

Yes, I like the rating of the answers, and it is challenging to try to get points, but it should be for decent, legit answers.

Yes I agree with you- those people either didn't read the question properly, or are seriously substandard.\n\nI'm just about to give you one of the anwers you have asked for on your other question.

Indeed, sometimes two or more answers are really good, offering two or more different views, which brings additional knowledge to the user. In such cases, I would definitely wish to give more than one best answer, because both have put in an effort which needs to be appreciated.

I don't think so.This question has been asked several times.You are not supposed to repeatedly ask the same question.

I think that some questions stir something inside of us.Some questions are controversial,while others are not.Some questions are easily answered while others are answered by text book explanations.Hmmmm I wonder how many answers this question will get?
113092
yup, people tend to do that... I just hope people use their good judgement to distinguish the right ones from those that are unintentionally destructive answers.\n\nserious questions are asked in the hope that experts on that field are online to shed some light.  But we can never be too sure.

Exactly what mrscm said. When you see people answer with "I Dunno" or "No clue but thanks for the 2 points" then more than likely they are in it for points...points that don't really give you anything but bragging rights. If the points were gone, this site would probably shrink to half the size that it is user wise. I on the other hand, not only enjpy answering questions, but also love reading other peoples points of views on various different topics. Yes, I always hope that in some way my answer will be helpful or at least interesting.\n\nAlso, I wonder how many people actually go back to the questions they have answered to see if there was any follow up responses from the asker as to what they said. I've seen so many askers follow up with comments/questions about the answer someone gave, yet noone goes back to see unless they are chosen as a best answer. Then they will go just to see which answer was chose as theirs.

Yes, most of the questions could be answered by doing a search.  However, a lot of people want other peoples opinions.  They want to be able to relate to a human being rather than a machine.
