Of the millions of yahoo users, why do we see the same faces over and over on q&a ?

Chat sites are like shooting fish in a barrel. They're awkward, they're embarrassing. Everyone's there for a painfully obvious reason. With Q&A you get a good 3-D of people without the pressure of the "pick-up" factor.
