Do you let your answers expire, or do you choose a best answer?

Best answer or vote.  It is selfish to throw out a question, have people spend a lot of time on an answer and then let it expire.  I have only deleted one questions so far, and that was because I was being an Ass when I placed it on yahoo.

I think there is a timelimit of at least 24 hours before you can choose "Best Answer".

The answers they give.  I know this is true of me.  Sometimes I get bored and just throw out wild questions to have some fun.  I think my answers are far closer to who I really am than my questions.

Your question will be open for 14 days while it accepts answers.\n\nOnce your question has been answered, you can take any of the following actions during the 14-day period:\n\n    * Choose a Best Answer\n    * Call for a vote (if there are two or more answers)\n    * Extend the expiration date\n\nIf your question receives no answer, the question will be deleted if no action is taken before time runs out.\n\nIf the question expires with two or more answers, they will automatically go to a vote if no action is taken before time runs out.

I don't really ask a lot of question myself but when I do, I try to vote for a best answer myself. The only time I let others choose is when I think all answers are equally good.\nI hate it when people leave questions open for a long time and then don't bother to pick a best answer.\nThese questions usually remain unresolved because nobody goes back to vote on questions they answered a week or so ago.\nSome people almost never choose a best answer and a lot of their questions are unresolved. I usually don't answer these people's questions anymore. Honestly, what's the point?

I have an open question with no answers that's five days old now.  It may be it was just too obscure.  I think there is a provision to extend the deadline for votes on questions, but I do not see one for extending the deadline for answering.  Maybe we need that capability, too.  One could always ask it again, of course, and possibly phrase it differently or put it in a different category.\n\nP.S.  My bad:  I checked, and there is a way to extend the deadline for a question.

sometime people choose the answer they want to hear. you may give the best advice but it not what they want.

I think it's silly that I lose two points whether anyone answers or not.  I only gain them back when I pick a best answer.  I cannot do this if no one answers.  i believe, in that case, the points should be restored when the question is deleted or expires.

answer more questions, answer them good so your answer will be chosen as the best.

You can choose a best answer - that puts the question to "Resolved" status & no more answers will be accepted.

I've been with you all along.  From my experience you can pretty much throw out at least the first couple of answers you get to any question.  No way can a person answer that quickly and his answer be worth listening to.  I find when I answer I am almost always way down the line from the first ones.

use comments when you choose your best answer

Almost always (a), and never any of the other three. I usually vote for my own answer, unless an answer is given that I honestly like more, and think it does a better job of answering the question. When it's a question I haven't answered, I just pick the answer I think does the best job of answering the question.
