Answering your questions.

I answer as many questions as I can thoughtfully, cogently, and with the goal of helping the asker resolve the problem or question, and/or with the goal of pointing out to them that there are flaws in their reasoning.  This is my 235th answer, and none of them have been silly or to "get points."  However, I see quite a few silly questions out there.  I think that it's perhaps because each of us is here participating in Y! Answers for different reasons--some merely for entertainment, and others so that they can have the opportunity to interact with others.

Why would you waste your time to answer your own question?!?!?

I can't speak for anyone but myself.\n\nI find a lot of satisfaction in answering LEGITIMATE questions posed by people who are honestly looking for information.  Many times I find folks who'll post an answer with vulgarity or their version of humor when it totally uncalled for.  I will not post an answer if I'm not pretty sure I'm passing good, solid answers or common sense opinions.\n\nMost people, well...just about everyone who has picked my answer as "the best" have been quite gracious with thanks.  I get a lot of satisfaction in thinking that I've helped someone out, no matter how small the deed may have been.
