When people chose your answer as the best-?

If it's a fact, we want facts, if it's a personal question it's hard to win, b/c that person wants to hear other people tell them they're right, not get brow beaten to the other side of their argument.\n\nFrom the categories, I go to, Travel wants a mixture of truth & opinion ie (should I go to Moldova, honestly heck no, but if you're from there, sure why not?)\n\nSociety & Culture is funny b/c even if it's the best written answer if you're fighting a fanatic (Racist, Ethnocentric, Kook etc) you'll still lose.\n\nPolitics at time is looking for good rationale to win.\n\nNews & events just wants a strong opinion with a good sense of humor.\n\nAND MY FAVORITES!!!\nLove & Romance/ Parenting is the WORSE!!! Nobody honestly wants the truth, I have seen questions where women/men have asked, 'MY Man slept with 10 women, 1 man & a goat, should I stay?"  HEEEELLL NO!!  But then the best answer is the one that makes them feel good & stay.  \nOr from parenting, "My child beats up a bunch of kids, should I stop him from doing it?"  Uh... yes. \n\nAll said & done, each question has a reason/rational that when you see it, your response seems so simple, but if you asked, you wouldn't follow a bunch of ideas from people you don't know?  I know I wouldn't... to a point.

Well, sometimes I want to give best answers to 3 or 4 people! I wish I could give them all 10 points because their answers were wonderful... :-)

Open "your Q & A", open your answers, and find it who received the best answer to any given question.

You need to wait 24 hours before you select an answer as the best one to your question. Then you have 6 days to select the best answer to your question. If you don't it automatically goes to a vote, and which answer is voted on by the most people as the best answer gets selected.

I think it's funny how 16 people all feel the need to answer with the same answer of My Sharona... hmmm lets pick the person who answered My Sharona with the best answer.

I agree. I've had people actually choose my answer as the best, but they insult me anyway! Weird!

how do I find a way to get the best answer to this question?

Ok, I just went through all your answers that were up for vote and I voted for what I thought was the best on each one.

It's hard to pick the perfect answer, especially since some of the answers are subjective. For instance, if I asked someone for what they thought the BEST place to eat was, I can't really qualify that. So that would probably be left up to a vote and take a consensus. \n\nAs for picking answers myself, if there appears to be a lot of thought put into the answer and it includes sources, all the better. The questions that I've personally asked, thus far, usually there has been one answer that typifies this. Now, if I received several long responses that have merit, I would be inclined to let the users pick.
