I totally agree with you. Many a times, serious, genuine questions get no responses at all or get answers like 'sorry, I don't know'. Ask a silly question and within minutes you'll receive hords of silly answers.\nApparently, people are using this site, not for getting answers to questions, but to have some fun.\nMost of my questions do go unanswered. But, I wouldn't say the whole system has deteriorated as I'm still managing to get some decent, appropraite answers to some of my queries. I guess what has happened was inevitable.

Yes, there a few gems stashed in amongst the rubbish on this forum.  It takes researching the profiles of people who give intelligent answers.  People who give good answers usually ask great questions.  Sometimes we have to put up with a lot of irritating nonsense to get through to the good stuff.  I suggest keep a list of people who ask good questions/give good answers and go to their profiles to answer theirs.  Who cares about points.  Let the others wear each other out.

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.

Thing is that there a lot of people here that can give the proper answers, however there are many out there that take a wild guess, and in many cases just give absurd non-sense making comments.\nAlso, this is not a forum for making comments, as you know it's for people to come in ask questions and other people to attemp to give information.

Not amazed, just a bit sad.  Still, some of the answers are worthy of a chuckle at their complete inappositeness!

Most of this is Entertainment for Some.  \n\nYou get a few good answers, a lot of crappy ones.\nI know it's annoying!, but what can you expect???

I agree. My first ever question, that I genuinely didn't know the answer to, was largely answered by really inane sounding people, calling me a moron; how educated...\nThey left these smug comments, which other peoples answers proved way wrong. Some people don't seem to realise that there are many different schools of thought about a variety of subjects. I have to say though, the majority of answerers are really helpful and interesting; on a few occasions they have really touched my heart, giving me a massive positive experience of the web. Block out the dimwits; they usually ask stupid questions which are beneath a decent response anyway...

LOL!  Actually, if you think about it, this one's not so bad.  We are really expanding our knowledge base here.  Cheers to yahoo for coming up with one that puts our brains to use.

Often, especially in "Society & Culture", the person isn't really asking a question.  They are going to pick whoever agrees with their pre-determined answer.  So even when your answer is actually "best", it doesn't get picked.  Sometimes upsetting, though, I agree.  If it is a really ridiculous case, I'll usually leave a comment.

Are you afraid you might be wrong? You write off responses that don't agree with you as "the same old tired and predictable responses" yet give the same old tired and predictable arguments that it is genuine.\n\nPlus I would love to know what scientific community said the dating was flawed? (You are aware it was dated more then once)

Hmmm ... that looks more like a comment than a question, and I'm assuming your "source" is personal experience .. although only an answerer can list their source, and since it's an answer posing as a question .. come on .. fess up.

Stupider? Not even.  Smarter? Maybe. Sometimes I will view an answer about something I new nothing about. And there are usually so many different opinions that I am given the opportunity to weigh all the possibilities and find my own conclusions! I am sometimes enlightened with laughter though.
